A linear Gaussian state space model, sometimes called a Kalman filter, posits
a latent state vector z[t]
of dimension latent_size
that evolves
over time following linear Gaussian transitions,
z[t+1] = F * z[t] + N(b; Q) # latent state
x[t] = H * z[t] + N(c; R) # observed series
for transition matrix F
, transition bias b
and covariance matrix
Q
, and observation matrix H
, bias c
and covariance matrix R
. At each
timestep, the model generates an observable vector x[t]
, a noisy projection
of the latent state. The transition and observation models may be fixed or
may vary between timesteps.
This Distribution represents the marginal distribution on
observations, p(x)
. The marginal log_prob
is implemented by
Kalman filtering [1], and sample
by an efficient forward
recursion. Both operations require time linear in T
, the total
number of timesteps.
Shapes
The event shape is [num_timesteps, observation_size]
, where
observation_size
is the dimension of each observation x[t]
.
The observation and transition models must return consistent
shapes.
This implementation supports vectorized computation over a batch of models. All of the parameters (prior distribution, transition and observation operators and noise models) must have a consistent batch shape.
Time-varying processes
Any of the model-defining parameters (prior distribution, transition
and observation operators and noise models) may be specified as a
callable taking an integer timestep t
and returning a
time-dependent value. The dimensionality (latent_size
and
observation_size
) must be the same at all timesteps.
Importantly, the timestep is passed as a Tensor
, not a Python
integer, so any conditional behavior must occur inside the
TensorFlow graph. For example, suppose we want to use a different
transition model on even days than odd days. It does not work to
write
def transition_matrix(t):
if t % 2 == 0:
return even_day_matrix
else:
return odd_day_matrix
since the value of t
is not fixed at graph-construction
time. Instead we need to write
def transition_matrix(t):
return tf.cond(tf.equal(tf.mod(t, 2), 0),
lambda : even_day_matrix,
lambda : odd_day_matrix)
so that TensorFlow can switch between operators appropriately at runtime.
Examples
Consider a simple tracking model, in which a two-dimensional latent state
represents the position of a vehicle, and at each timestep we
see a noisy observation of this position (e.g., a GPS reading). The
vehicle is assumed to move by a random walk with standard deviation
step_std
at each step, and observation noise level std
. We build
the marginal distribution over noisy observations as a state space model:
tfd = tfp.distributions
ndims = 2
step_std = 1.0
noise_std = 5.0
model = tfd.LinearGaussianStateSpaceModel(
num_timesteps=100,
transition_matrix=tf.linalg.LinearOperatorIdentity(ndims),
transition_noise=tfd.MultivariateNormalDiag(
scale_diag=step_std**2 * tf.ones([ndims])),
observation_matrix=tf.linalg.LinearOperatorIdentity(ndims),
observation_noise=tfd.MultivariateNormalDiag(
scale_diag=noise_std**2 * tf.ones([ndims])),
initial_state_prior=tfd.MultivariateNormalDiag(
scale_diag=tf.ones([ndims])))
using the identity matrix for the transition and observation operators. We can then use this model to generate samples, compute marginal likelihood of observed sequences, and perform posterior inference.
x = model.sample(5) # Sample from the prior on sequences of observations.
lp = model.log_prob(x) # Marginal likelihood of a (batch of) observations.
# Compute the filtered posterior on latent states given observations,
# and extract the mean and covariance for the current (final) timestep.
_, filtered_means, filtered_covs, _, _, _, _ = model.forward_filter(x)
current_location_posterior = tfd.MultivariateNormalTriL(
loc=filtered_means[..., -1, :],
scale_tril=tf.linalg.cholesky(filtered_covs[..., -1, :, :]))
# Run a smoothing recursion to extract posterior marginals for locations
# at previous timesteps.
posterior_means, posterior_covs = model.posterior_marginals(x)
initial_location_posterior = tfd.MultivariateNormalTriL(
loc=posterior_means[..., 0, :],
scale_tril=tf.linalg.cholesky(posterior_covs[..., 0, :, :]))

where Cov
is a (batch of) k x k
matrix, 0 <= (i, j) < k
, and E

Alternatively, for non-vector, multivariate distributions (e.g.,
matrix-valued, Wishart), Covariance
shall return a (batch of) matrices
under some vectorization of the events, i.e.,
Cov[i, j] = Covariance(Vec(X)_i, Vec(X)_j) = [as above]
where Cov
is a (batch of) k' x k'
matrices,

experimental_default_event_space_bijector
experimental_default_event_space_bijector(
*args, **kwargs
)
Bijector mapping the reals (R**n) to the event space of the distribution.
Distributions with continuous support may implement
_default_event_space_bijector
which returns a subclass of
tfp.bijectors.Bijector
that maps R**n to the distribution's event space.
For example, the default bijector for the Beta
distribution
is tfp.bijectors.Sigmoid()
, which maps the real line to [0, 1]
, the
support of the Beta
distribution. The default bijector for the
CholeskyLKJ
distribution is tfp.bijectors.CorrelationCholesky
, which
maps R^(k * (k-1) // 2) to the submanifold of k x k lower triangular
matrices with ones along the diagonal.
The purpose of experimental_default_event_space_bijector
is
to enable gradient descent in an unconstrained space for Variational
Inference and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo methods. Some effort has been made to
choose bijectors such that the tails of the distribution in the
unconstrained space are between Gaussian and Exponential.
For distributions with discrete event space, or for which TFP currently
lacks a suitable bijector, this function returns None
.

.

value
|
a Tensor valid sample from this distribution family.
|
sample_ndims
|

value that index i.i.d. samples.
Default value: 1 .
|
validate_args
|
Python bool , default False . When True , distribution
parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime
performance. When False , invalid inputs may silently render incorrect
outputs.
Default value: False .
|
**init_kwargs
|
Additional keyword arguments passed through to
cls.__init__ . These take precedence in case of collision with the
fitted parameters; for example,
tfd.Normal.experimental_fit([1., 1.], scale=20.) returns a Normal
distribution with scale=20. rather than the maximum likelihood
parameter scale=0. .
|
Returns | |
---|---|
maximum_likelihood_instance

instance of cls with parameters that
maximize the likelihood of value .
|
experimental_local_measure
experimental_local_measure(
value, backward_compat=False, **kwargs
)

A TangentSpace
allows us to calculate the correct push-forward
density when we apply a transformation to a Distribution
on
a strict submanifold of R^n (typically via a Bijector
in the
TransformedDistribution
subclass). The density correction uses
the basis of the tangent space.
Args | |
---|---|
value
|
float or double Tensor .
|
backward_compat
|
bool specifying whether to fall back to returning
FullSpace as the tangent space, and representing R^n with the standard
basis.
|
**kwargs
|
Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation. |
Returns | |
---|---|
log_prob
|
a Tensor representing the log probability density, of shape
sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape with values of type self.dtype .
|

a TangentSpace object (by default FullSpace )
representing the tangent space to the manifold at value .
|
Raises | |
---|---|
UnspecifiedTangentSpaceError if backward_compat is False and
the _experimental_tangent_space attribute has not been defined.

experimental_sample_and_log_prob
experimental_sample_and_log_prob(
sample_shape=(), seed=None, name='sample_and_log_prob', **kwargs
)
Samples from this distribution and returns the log density of the sample.
The default implementation simply calls sample
and log_prob
:
def _sample_and_log_prob(self, sample_shape, seed, **kwargs):
x = self.sample(sample_shape=sample_shape, seed=seed, **kwargs)
return x, self.log_prob(x, **kwargs)
However, some subclasses may provide more efficient and/or numerically stable implementations.
Args | |
---|---|

Default value: () .
|
seed
|
PRNG seed; see tfp.random.sanitize_seed for details.
Default value: None .

sample_shape .
|

values of type self.dtype .
|
forward_filter
forward_filter(
x, mask=None, final_step_only=False
)
Run a Kalman filter over a provided sequence of outputs.
Note that the returned values filtered_means
, predicted_means
, and
observation_means
depend on the observed time series x
, while the
corresponding covariances are independent of the observed series; i.e., they
depend only on the model itself. This means that the mean values have shape
concat([sample_shape(x), batch_shape, [num_timesteps,
{latent/observation}_size]])
, while the covariances have shape
concat[(batch_shape, [num_timesteps, {latent/observation}_size,
{latent/observation}_size]])
, which does not depend on the sample shape.
Args | |
---|---|
x
|
a float-type Tensor with rightmost dimensions
[num_timesteps, observation_size] matching
self.event_shape . Additional dimensions must match or be
broadcastable to self.batch_shape ; any further dimensions
are interpreted as a sample shape.
|
mask
|
optional bool-type Tensor with rightmost dimension
[num_timesteps] ; True values specify that the value of x
at that timestep is masked, i.e., not conditioned on. Additional
dimensions must match or be broadcastable to self.batch_shape ; any
further dimensions must match or be broadcastable to the sample
shape of x .
Default value: None (falls back to self.mask ).
|
final_step_only
|
optional Python bool . If True , the num_timesteps
dimension is omitted from all return values and only the value from the
final timestep is returned (in this case, log_likelihoods will
be the cumulative log marginal likelihood). This may be significantly
more efficient than returning all values (although note that no
efficiency gain is expected when self.experimental_parallelize=True ).
Default value: False .
|
Returns | |
---|---|
log_likelihoods
|
Per-timestep log marginal likelihoods log
p(x[t] | x[:t-1]) evaluated at the input x , as a Tensor
of shape sample_shape(x) + batch_shape + [num_timesteps].
If final_step_only is True , this will instead be the
cumulative log marginal likelihood at the final step.

distributions p(z[t] | x[:t]), as a Tensor of shape
sample_shape(x) + batch_shape + [num_timesteps, latent_size] .

|
Covariances of the per-timestep filtered marginal
distributions p(z[t] | x[:t]), as a Tensor of shape
sample_shape(x) + batch_shape + [num_timesteps, latent_size,
latent_size] . Since posterior covariances do not depend on observed
data, some implementations may return a Tensor whose shape omits the
initial sample_shape(x) .
|
predicted_means
|
Means of the per-timestep predictive
distributions over latent states, p(z[t+1] | x[:t]), as a
Tensor of shape sample_shape(x) + batch_shape +
[num_timesteps, latent_size] .

do not depend on observed data, some implementations may return a
Tensor whose shape omits the initial sample_shape(x) .
|

|
Means of the per-timestep predictive
distributions over observations, p(x[t] | x[:t-1]), as a
Tensor of shape sample_shape(x) + batch_shape +
[num_timesteps, observation_size] .
|
observation_covs
|
Covariances of the per-timestep predictive
distributions over observations, p(x[t] | x[:t-1]), as a
Tensor of shape sample_shape(x) + batch_shape + [num_timesteps,

Tensor or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call to
sample() .
|
name
|
name to prepend ops with. |
Returns | |
---|---|
dict of parameter name to Tensor shapes.
|
param_static_shapes
@classmethod
param_static_shapes( sample_shape )
param_shapes with static (i.e. TensorShape
) shapes.
This is a class method that describes what key/value arguments are required
to instantiate the given Distribution
so that a particular shape is
returned for that instance's call to sample()
. Assumes that the sample's
shape is known statically.
Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes
to return
constant-valued tensors when constant values are fed.
Args | |
---|---|
sample_shape
|
TensorShape or python list/tuple. Desired shape of a call
to sample() .
|
Returns | |
---|---|
dict of parameter name to TensorShape .
|
Raises | |
---|---|
ValueError
|
if sample_shape is a TensorShape and is not fully defined.
|
parameter_properties
@classmethod
parameter_properties( dtype=tf.float32, num_classes=None )
Returns a dict mapping constructor arg names to property annotations.
This dict should include an entry for each of the distribution's
Tensor
-valued constructor arguments.
Distribution subclasses are not required to implement
_parameter_properties
, so this method may raise NotImplementedError
.
Providing a _parameter_properties
implementation enables several advanced
features, including:
- Distribution batch slicing (
sliced_distribution = distribution[i:j]
). - Automatic inference of
_batch_shape
and_batch_shape_tensor
, which must otherwise be computed explicitly. - Automatic instantiation of the distribution within TFP's internal property tests.
- Automatic construction of 'trainable' instances of the distribution using appropriate bijectors to avoid violating parameter constraints. This enables the distribution family to be used easily as a surrogate posterior in variational inference.
In the future, parameter property annotations may enable additional
functionality; for example, returning Distribution instances from
tf.vectorized_map
.
Args | |
---|---|
dtype
|
Optional float dtype to assume for continuous-valued parameters.
Some constraining bijectors require advance knowledge of the dtype
because certain constants (e.g., tfb.Softplus.low ) must be
instantiated with the same dtype as the values to be transformed.
|
num_classes
|
Optional int Tensor number of classes to assume when
inferring the shape of parameters for categorical-like distributions.
Otherwise ignored.
|
Returns | |
---|---|
parameter_properties
|
A
str -> tfp.python.internal.parameter_properties.ParameterPropertiesdict mapping constructor argument names to ParameterProperties`
instances.
|
Raises | |
---|---|
NotImplementedError
|
if the distribution class does not implement
_parameter_properties .
|
posterior_marginals
posterior_marginals(
x, mask=None
)
Run a Kalman smoother to return posterior mean and cov.
Note that the returned values smoothed_means
depend on the observed
time series x
, while the smoothed_covs
are independent
of the observed series; i.e., they depend only on the model itself.
This means that the mean values have shape concat([sample_shape(x),
batch_shape, [num_timesteps, {latent/observation}_size]])
,
while the covariances have shape concat[(batch_shape, [num_timesteps,
{latent/observation}_size, {latent/observation}_size]])
, which
does not depend on the sample shape.
This function only performs smoothing. If the user wants the
intermediate values, which are returned by filtering pass forward_filter
,
one could get it by:
(log_likelihoods,
filtered_means, filtered_covs,
predicted_means, predicted_covs,
observation_means, observation_covs) = model.forward_filter(x)
smoothed_means, smoothed_covs = model.backward_smoothing_pass(
filtered_means, filtered_covs,
predicted_means, predicted_covs)
where x
is an observation sequence.
Args | |
---|---|
x
|
a float-type Tensor with rightmost dimensions
[num_timesteps, observation_size] matching
self.event_shape . Additional dimensions must match or be
broadcastable to self.batch_shape ; any further dimensions
are interpreted as a sample shape.
|
mask
|
optional bool-type Tensor with rightmost dimension
[num_timesteps] ; True values specify that the value of x
at that timestep is masked, i.e., not conditioned on. Additional
dimensions must match or be broadcastable to self.batch_shape ; any
further dimensions must match or be broadcastable to the sample
shape of x .
Default value: None (falls back to self.mask ).
|
Returns | |
---|---|
smoothed_means
|
Means of the per-timestep smoothed
distributions over latent states, p(z[t] | x[:T]), as a
Tensor of shape sample_shape(x) + batch_shape +
[num_timesteps, observation_size] .
|
smoothed_covs
|
Covariances of the per-timestep smoothed
distributions over latent states, p(z[t] | x[:T]), as a
Tensor of shape sample_shape(mask) + batch_shape + [num_timesteps,
observation_size, observation_size] . Note that the covariances depend
only on the model and the mask, not on the data, so this may have fewer
dimensions than filtered_means .
|
posterior_sample
posterior_sample(
x, sample_shape=(), mask=None, seed=None, name=None
)
Draws samples from the posterior over latent trajectories.
This method uses Durbin-Koopman sampling [1], an efficient algorithm to
sample from the posterior latents of a linear Gaussian state space model.
The cost of drawing a sample is equal to the cost of drawing a prior
sample (.sample(sample_shape)
), plus the cost of Kalman smoothing (
.posterior_marginals(...)
on both the observed time series and the
prior sample. This method is significantly more efficient in graph mode,
because it uses only the posterior means and can elide the unneeded
calculation of marginal covariances.

.
