This distribution has parameters: degree of freedom df
, location loc
, and scale
.
tfd_student_t( df, loc, scale, validate_args = FALSE, allow_nan_stats = TRUE, name = "StudentT" )

scale |

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. |

Mathematical details
The probability density function (pdf) is,
pdf(x; df, mu, sigma) = (1 + y**2 / df)**(-0.5 (df + 1)) / Z where, y = (x - mu) / sigma Z = abs(sigma) sqrt(df pi) Gamma(0.5 df) / Gamma(0.5 (df + 1))
where:
loc = mu
,
scale = sigma
, and,
Z
is the normalization constant, and,
Gamma
is the gamma function.
The StudentT distribution is a member of the location-scale family, i.e., it can be
constructed as,
X ~ StudentT(df, loc=0, scale=1) Y = loc + scale * X
Notice that scale
has semantics more similar to standard deviation than
variance. However it is not actually the std. deviation; the Student's
t-distribution std. dev. is scale sqrt(df / (df - 2))
when df > 2
.
Samples of this distribution are reparameterized (pathwise differentiable). The derivatives are computed using the approach described in the paper Michael Figurnov, Shakir Mohamed, Andriy Mnih. Implicit Reparameterization Gradients, 2018
