tfd_multivariate_normal_full_covariance: Multivariate normal distribution on 'R^k'

In tfprobability: Interface to 'TensorFlow Probability'

Multivariate normal distribution on R^k

Description

The Multivariate Normal distribution is defined over R^k`` and parameterized by a (batch of) length-k loc vector (aka "mu") and a (batch of) k x kscale matrix;covariance = scale @ scale.Twhere@' denotes matrix-multiplication.

Usage

tfd_multivariate_normal_full_covariance(
  loc = NULL,
  covariance_matrix = NULL,
  validate_args = FALSE,
  allow_nan_stats = TRUE,
  name = "MultivariateNormalFullCovariance"
)

Arguments

loc	Floating-point Tensor. If this is set to NULL, loc is implicitly 0. When specified, may have shape [B1, ..., Bb, k] where b >= 0 and k is the event size.
covariance_matrix	Floating-point, symmetric positive definite Tensor of same dtype as loc. The strict upper triangle of covariance_matrix is ignored, so if covariance_matrix is not symmetric no error will be raised (unless validate_args is TRUE). covariance_matrix has shape [B1, ..., Bb, k, k] where b >= 0 and k is the event size.
validate_args	Logical, default FALSE. When TRUE distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When FALSE invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: FALSE.
allow_nan_stats	Logical, 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	name prefixed to Ops created by this class.

Details

Mathematical Details

The probability density function (pdf) is,

pdf(x; loc, scale) = exp(-0.5 ||y||**2) / Z
y = inv(scale) @ (x - loc)
Z = (2 pi)**(0.5 k) |det(scale)|

where:

• loc is a vector in R^k,

• scale is a linear operator in R^{k x k}, cov = scale @ scale.T,

• Z denotes the normalization constant, and,

• ||y||**2 denotes the squared Euclidean norm of y.

The MultivariateNormal distribution is a member of the location-scale family, i.e., it can be constructed as,

X ~ MultivariateNormal(loc=0, scale=1)   # Identity scale, zero shift.
Y = scale @ X + loc

The batch_shape is the broadcast shape between loc and covariance_matrix arguments. The event_shape is given by last dimension of the matrix implied by covariance_matrix. The last dimension of loc (if provided) must broadcast with this. A non-batch covariance_matrix matrix is a k x k symmetric positive definite matrix. In other words it is (real) symmetric with all eigenvalues strictly positive. Additional leading dimensions (if any) will index batches.

Value
