A Student's T process (TP) is an indexed collection of random variables, any finite collection of which are jointly Multivariate Student's T. While this definition applies to finite index sets, it is typically implicit that the index set is infinite; in applications, it is often some finite dimensional real or complex vector space. In such cases, the TP may be thought of as a distribution over (real- or complex-valued) functions defined over the index set.
Just as Student's T distributions are fully specified by their degrees of
freedom, location and scale, a Student's T process can be completely specified
by a degrees of freedom parameter, mean function and covariance function.
Let S
denote the index set and K
the space in
which each indexed random variable takes its values (again, often R or C).
The mean function is then a map m: S -> K
, and the covariance function,
or kernel, is a positive-definite function k: (S x S) -> K
. The properties
of functions drawn from a TP are entirely dictated (up to translation) by
the form of the kernel function.
This Distribution
represents the marginal joint distribution over function
values at a given finite collection of points [x[1], ..., x[N]]
from the
index set S
. By definition, this marginal distribution is just a
multivariate Student's T distribution, whose mean is given by the vector
[ m(x[1]), ..., m(x[N]) ]
and whose covariance matrix is constructed from
pairwise applications of the kernel function to the given inputs:
| k(x[1], x[1]) k(x[1], x[2]) ... k(x[1], x[N]) |
| k(x[2], x[1]) k(x[2], x[2]) ... k(x[2], x[N]) |
| ... ... ... |
| k(x[N], x[1]) k(x[N], x[2]) ... k(x[N], x[N]) |
For this to be a valid covariance matrix, it must be symmetric and positive
definite; hence the requirement that k
be a positive definite function
(which, by definition, says that the above procedure will yield PD matrices).
Note also we use a parameterization as suggested in [1], which requires df
to be greater than 2. This allows for the covariance for any finite
dimensional marginal of the TP (a multivariate Student's T distribution) to
just be the PD matrix generated by the kernel.
Mathematical Details
The probability density function (pdf) is a multivariate Student's T whose parameters are derived from the TP's properties:
pdf(x; df, index_points, mean_fn, kernel) = MultivariateStudentT(df, loc, K)
K = (df - 2) / df * (kernel.matrix(index_points, index_points) +
observation_noise_variance * eye(N))
loc = (x - mean_fn(index_points))^T @ K @ (x - mean_fn(index_points))
where:
df
is the degrees of freedom parameter for the TP.index_points
are points in the index set over which the TP is defined,mean_fn
is a callable mapping the index set to the TP's mean values,kernel
isPositiveSemidefiniteKernel
-like and represents the covariance function of the TP,observation_noise_variance
is a term added to the diagonal of the kernel matrix. In the limit ofdf
toinf
, this represents the observation noise of a gaussian likelihood.eye(N)
is an N-by-N identity matrix.
Examples
Draw joint samples from a TP prior
import numpy as np

from tensorflow_probability.substrates import numpy as tfp
tfd = tfp.distributions
psd_kernels = tfp.math.psd_kernels
num_points = 100
# Index points should be a collection (100, here) of feature vectors. In this
# example, we're using 1-d vectors, so we just need to reshape the output from
# np.linspace, to give a shape of (100, 1).
index_points = np.expand_dims(np.linspace(-1., 1., num_points), -1)
# Define a kernel with default parameters.
kernel = psd_kernels.ExponentiatedQuadratic()
tp = tfd.StudentTProcess(3., kernel, index_points)
samples = tp.sample(10)
# ==> 10 independently drawn, joint samples at `index_points`
noisy_tp = tfd.StudentTProcess(
df=3.,
kernel=kernel,
index_points=index_points)
noisy_samples = noisy_tp.sample(10)
# ==> 10 independently drawn, noisy joint samples at `index_points`
Optimize kernel parameters via maximum marginal likelihood.
# Suppose we have some data from a known function. Note the index points in
# general have shape `[b1, ..., bB, f1, ..., fF]` (here we assume `F == 1`),
# so we need to explicitly consume the feature dimensions (just the last one
# here).
f = lambda x: np.sin(10*x[..., 0]) * np.exp(-x[..., 0]**2)
observed_index_points = np.expand_dims(np.random.uniform(-1., 1., 50), -1)
# Squeeze to take the shape from [50, 1] to [50].
observed_values = f(observed_index_points)

covariance

Covariance.
Covariance is (possibly) defined only for non-scalar-event distributions.
For example, for a length-k
, vector-valued distribution, it is calculated
as,
Cov[i, j] = Covariance(X_i, X_j) = E[(X_i - E[X_i]) (X_j - E[X_j])]
where Cov
is a (batch of) k x k
matrix, 0 <= (i, j) < k
, and E
denotes expectation.
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,
0 <= (i, j) < k' = reduce_prod(event_shape)
, and Vec
is some function
mapping indices of this distribution's event dimensions to indices of a
length-k'
vector.

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
.

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. .
|

maximize the likelihood of value .
|

A TangentSpace
allows us to calculate the correct push-forward

Shapes of parameters given the desired shape of a call to sample()
.
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()
.
Subclasses should override class method _param_shapes
.
Args | |
---|---|

param_static_shapes
@classmethod

) 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

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.

---|---|
NotImplementedError

if the distribution class does not implement
_parameter_properties .

collections, of observations corresponding to
self.index_points . Shape has the form [b1, ..., bB, e] , which

broadcastable with the shapes of all other batched parameters
|
predictive_index_points

float (nested) Tensor representing finite
collection, or batch of collections, of points in the index set over

feature dimensions and must equal kernel.feature_ndims (or its
corresponding nested component) and e is the number (size) of

samples
|
a Tensor with prepended dimensions sample_shape .
|
stddev
stddev(
name='stddev', **kwargs
)
Standard deviation.
Standard deviation is defined as,
stddev = E[(X - E[X])**2]**0.5
where X
is the random variable associated with this distribution, E
denotes expectation, and stddev.shape = batch_shape + event_shape
.
Args | |
---|---|
name
|
Python str prepended to names of ops created by this function.
|
**kwargs
|
Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation. |
Returns | |
---|---|
stddev
|
Floating-point Tensor with shape identical to
batch_shape + event_shape , i.e., the same shape as self.mean() .
|
survival_function
survival_function(
value, name='survival_function', **kwargs
)
Survival function.
Given random variable X
, the survival function is defined:
survival_function(x) = P[X > x]
= 1 - P[X <= x]
= 1 - cdf(x).
Args | |
---|---|
value
|
float or double Tensor .
|
name
|
Python str prepended to names of ops created by this function.
|
**kwargs
|
Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation. |
Returns | |
---|---|
Tensor of shape sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape with values of type
self.dtype .
|
unnormalized_log_prob
unnormalized_log_prob(
value, name='unnormalized_log_prob', **kwargs
)
Potentially unnormalized log probability density/mass function.
This function is similar to log_prob
, but does not require that the
return value be normalized. (Normalization here refers to the total
integral of probability being one, as it should be by definition for any
probability distribution.) This is useful, for example, for distributions
where the normalization constant is difficult or expensive to compute. By
default, this simply calls log_prob
.
Args | |
---|---|
value
|
float or double Tensor .
|

Returns | |
---|---|
unnormalized_log_prob
|
a Tensor of shape
sample_shape(x) + self.batch_shape with values of type self.dtype .
|
variance
variance(
name='variance', **kwargs
)
Variance.
Variance is defined as,
Var = E[(X - E[X])**2]
where X
is the random variable associated with this distribution, E
denotes expectation, and Var.shape = batch_shape + event_shape
.
Args | |
---|---|
