mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.Logistic

class mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.Logistic(loc=None, scale=None, seed=None, dtype=mstype.float32, name='Logistic')[source]

Logistic distribution. A Logistic distributio is a continuous distribution with the range \((-\inf, \inf)\) and the probability density function:

\[f(x, a, b) = 1 / b \exp(\exp(-(x - a) / b) - x).\]

where \(a, b\) are loc and scale parameter respectively.

Parameters

loc (float, list, numpy.ndarray, Tensor) – The location of the Logistic distribution. Default: None .
scale (float, list, numpy.ndarray, Tensor) – The scale of the Logistic distribution. Default: None .
seed (int) – The seed used in sampling. The global seed is used if it is None. Default: None .
dtype (mindspore.dtype) – The type of the event samples. Default: mstype.float32 .
name (str) – The name of the distribution. Default: 'Logistic' .

Note

scale must be greater than zero. dist_spec_args are loc and scale. dtype must be a float type because Logistic distributions are continuous.

Raises

ValueError – When scale <= 0.
TypeError – When the input dtype is not a subclass of float.

Supported Platforms:: Ascend GPU
