tf.contrib.distributions.Kumaraswamy(
concentration1=None, concentration0=None, validate_args=False,
allow_nan_stats=True, name='Kumaraswamy'
)
The Kumaraswamy distribution is defined over the (0, 1)
interval using
parameters
concentration1
(aka "alpha") and concentration0
(aka "beta"). It has a
shape similar to the Beta distribution, but is reparameterizeable.
Mathematical Details
The probability density function (pdf) is,
pdf(x; alpha, beta) = alpha * beta * x**(alpha - 1) * (1 - x**alpha)**(beta -
1)
where:
concentration1 = alpha
,concentration0 = beta
,
Distribution parameters are automatically broadcast in all functions; see examples for details.
Examples
# Create a batch of three Kumaraswamy distributions.
alpha = [1, 2, 3]
beta = [1, 2, 3]
dist = Kumaraswamy(alpha, beta)
dist.sample([4, 5]) # Shape [4, 5, 3]
# `x` has three batch entries, each with two samples.
x = [[.1, .4, .5],
[.2, .3, .5]]
# Calculate the probability of each pair of samples under the corresponding
# distribution in `dist`.
dist.prob(x) # Shape [2, 3]
# Create batch_shape=[2, 3] via parameter broadcast:
alpha = [[1.], [2]] # Shape [2, 1]
beta = [3., 4, 5] # Shape [3]
dist = Kumaraswamy(alpha, beta)
# alpha broadcast as: [[1., 1, 1,],
# [2, 2, 2]]
# beta broadcast as: [[3., 4, 5],
# [3, 4, 5]]
# batch_Shape [2, 3]
dist.sample([4, 5]) # Shape [4, 5, 2, 3]
x = [.2, .3, .5]
# x will be broadcast as [[.2, .3, .5],
# [.2, .3, .5]],
# thus matching batch_shape [2, 3].
dist.prob(x) # Shape [2, 3]
Args | |
---|---|
concentration1
|
Positive floating-point Tensor indicating mean
number of successes; aka "alpha". Implies self.dtype and
self.batch_shape , i.e.,
concentration1.shape = [N1, N2, ..., Nm] = self.batch_shape .
|
concentration0
|
Positive floating-point Tensor indicating mean
number of failures; aka "beta". Otherwise has same semantics as
concentration1 .
|
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.
|
allow_nan_stats
|
Python bool , default True . When True , statistics
(e.g., mean, mode, variance) use the value "NaN " to indicate the
result is undefined. When False , an exception is raised if one or
more of the statistic's batch members are undefined.
|
name
|
Python str name prefixed to Ops created by this class.
|
Attributes | |
---|---|
allow_nan_stats
|
Python bool describing behavior when a stat is undefined.
Stats return +/- infinity when it makes sense. E.g., the variance of a Cauchy distribution is infinity. However, sometimes the statistic is undefined, e.g., if a distribution's pdf does not achieve a maximum within the support of the distribution, the mode is undefined. If the mean is undefined, then by definition the variance is undefined. E.g. the mean for Student's T for df = 1 is undefined (no clear way to say it is either + or - infinity), so the variance = E[(X - mean)**2] is also undefined. |

covariance
covariance(
name='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.
