mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.Geometric

class mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.Geometric(probs=None, seed=None, dtype=mindspore.int32, name='Geometric')

Geometric Distribution. It represents that there are k failures before the first success, namely that there are in total k+1 Bernoulli trails when the first success is achieved.

Parameters

• probs (float, list, numpy.ndarray, Tensor) – The probability of success.

• seed (int) – The seed used in sampling. Global seed is used if it is None. Default: None.

• dtype (mindspore.dtype) – The type of the event samples. Default: mstype.int32.

• name (str) – The name of the distribution. Default: ‘Geometric’.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU

Note

probs must be a proper probability (0 < p < 1). dist_spec_args is probs.

Examples

>>> import mindspore
>>> import mindspore.nn as nn
>>> import mindspore.nn.probability.distribution as msd
>>> from mindspore import Tensor
>>> # To initialize a Geometric distribution of the probability 0.5.
>>> g1 = msd.Geometric(0.5, dtype=mindspore.int32)
>>> # A Geometric distribution can be initialized without arguments.
>>> # In this case, `probs` must be passed in through arguments during function calls.
>>> g2 = msd.Geometric(dtype=mindspore.int32)
>>>
>>> # Here are some tensors used below for testing
>>> value = Tensor([1, 0, 1], dtype=mindspore.int32)
>>> probs_a = Tensor([0.6], dtype=mindspore.float32)
>>> probs_b = Tensor([0.2, 0.5, 0.4], dtype=mindspore.float32)
