mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.TransformedDistribution

View Source On Gitee
class mindspore.nn.probability.distribution.TransformedDistribution(bijector, distribution, seed=None, name='transformed_distribution')[source]

Transformed Distribution. This class contains a bijector and a distribution and transforms the original distribution to a new distribution through the operation defined by the bijector. If X is an random variable following the underying distribution, and g(x) is a function represented by the bijector, then Y=g(X) is a random variable following the transformed distribution.

Parameters
  • bijector (Bijector) – The transformation to perform.

  • distribution (Distribution) – The original distribution. Must be a float dtype.

  • seed (int) – The seed is used in sampling. The global seed is used if it is None. Default: None . If this seed is given when a TransformedDistribution object is initialized, the object's sampling function will use this seed; elsewise, the underlying distribution's seed will be used.

  • name (str) – The name of the transformed distribution. Default: 'transformed_distribution' .

Note

The arguments used to initialize the original distribution cannot be None. For example, mynormal = msd.Normal(dtype=mindspore.float32) cannot be used to initialized a TransformedDistribution since mean and sd are not specified. batch_shape is the batch_shape of the original distribution. broadcast_shape is the broadcast shape between the original distribution and bijector. is_scalar_batch is only true if both the original distribution and the bijector are scalar batches. default_parameters, parameter_names and parameter_type are set to be consistent with the original distribution. Derived class can overwrite default_parameters and parameter_names by calling reset_parameters followed by add_parameter.

Raises
  • TypeError – When the input bijector is not a Bijector instance.

  • TypeError – When the input distribution is not a Distribution instance.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU CPU
