                          concentration0_numerator=2.,

`DeterminantalPointProcess`

Distribution over subsets (represented as one-hot) of a given set. Samples follow a repulsivity property (probabilities are proportional to the volume spanned by vectors corresponding to the selected subset of points), which tends toward sampling diverse subsets. [Compare against i.i.d. Bernoulli samples.]

grid_size = 16
# Generate grid_size**2 pts on the unit square.
grid = np.arange(0, 1, 1./grid_size).astype(np.float32)
import itertools
points = np.array(list(itertools.product(grid, grid)))

# Create the kernel L that parameterizes the DPP.
kernel_amplitude = 2.
kernel_lengthscale = [.1, .15, .2, .25]  # Increasing length scale indicates more points are "nearby", tending toward smaller subsets.
kernel = tfpk.ExponentiatedQuadratic(kernel_amplitude, kernel_lengthscale)
kernel_matrix = kernel.matrix(points, points)

eigenvalues, eigenvectors = tf.linalg.eigh(kernel_matrix)
dpp = tfd.DeterminantalPointProcess(eigenvalues, eigenvectors)
print(dpp)

# The inner-most dimension of the result of `dpp.sample` is a multi-hot
# encoding of a subset of {1, ..., ground_set_size}.
# We will compare against a bernoulli distribution.
samps_dpp = dpp.sample(seed=(1, 2))  # 4 x grid_size**2
logits = tf.broadcast_to([[-1.], [-1.5], [-2], [-2.5]], [4, grid_size**2])
samps_bern = tfd.Bernoulli(logits=logits).sample(seed=(2, 3))

`SigmoidBeta`

Log-odds of two gamma distributions. More numerically stable sample space than Beta.

plt.hist(tfd.SigmoidBeta(concentration1=.01, concentration0=2.).sample(10_000, seed=(1, 23)),
         bins='auto', density=True);
plt.show()

    tfb.Invert(tfb.Sigmoid())(tfd.Beta(concentration1=.01, concentration0=2.)).sample(10_000, seed=(1, 23)))) / 10_000)
print(np.sum(~tf.math.is_finite(
    tfb.Invert(tfb.Sigmoid())(tfd.Beta(concentration1=2., concentration0=.01)).sample(10_000, seed=(2, 34)))) / 10_000)

Old way, fractions non-finite:
0.4215
0.8624

Zipf

Added JAX support.

plt.hist(tfd.Zipf(3.).sample(1_000, seed=(12, 34)).numpy(), bins='auto', density=True, log=True);

Distributions [software / wrappers]

`Sharded`

Shards independent event portions of a distribution across multiple processors. Aggregates log_prob across devices, handles gradients in concert with tfp.experimental.distribute.JointDistribution*. Much more in the Distributed Inference notebook.

strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy()

@tf.function
def sample_and_lp(seed):
  d = tfp.experimental.distribute.Sharded(tfd.Normal(0, 1))
  s = d.sample(seed=seed)
  return s, d.log_prob(s)

strategy.run(sample_and_lp, args=(tf.constant([12,34]),))

 })

`BatchBroadcast`

Implicitly broadcast the batch dimensions of an underlying distribution with or to a given batch shape.

underlying = tfd.MultivariateNormalDiag(tf.zeros([7, 1, 5]), tf.ones([5]))
print('underlying:', underlying)

d = tfd.BatchBroadcast(underlying, [8, 1, 6])
print('broadcast [7, 1] *with* [8, 1, 6]:', d)

try:
  tfd.BatchBroadcast(underlying, to_shape=[8, 1, 6])
except ValueError as e:
  print('broadcast [7, 1] *to* [8, 1, 6] is invalid:', e)

d = tfd.BatchBroadcast(underlying, to_shape=[8, 7, 6])
print('broadcast [7, 1] *to* [8, 7, 6]:', d)

underlying: tfp.distributions.MultivariateNormalDiag("MultivariateNormalDiag", batch_shape=[7, 1], event_shape=[5], dtype=float32)

broadcast [7, 1] *to* [8, 1, 6] is invalid: Argument `to_shape` ([8 1 6]) is incompatible with underlying distribution batch shape ((7, 1)).
broadcast [7, 1] *to* [8, 7, 6]: tfp.distributions.BatchBroadcast("BatchBroadcastMultivariateNormalDiag", batch_shape=[8, 7, 6], event_shape=[5], dtype=float32)

`Masked`

For single-program/multiple-data or sparse-as-masked-dense use-cases, a distribution that masks out the log_prob of invalid underlying distributions.

d = tfd.Masked(tfd.Normal(tf.zeros([7]), 1), 
               validity_mask=tf.sequence_mask([3, 4], 7))
print(d.log_prob(d.sample(seed=(1, 1))))

d = tfd.Masked(tfd.Normal(0, 1), 
               validity_mask=[False, True, False],
               safe_sample_fn=tfd.Distribution.mode)
print(d.log_prob(d.sample(seed=(2, 2))))

tf.Tensor([ 0.         -0.93683904  0.        ], shape=(3,), dtype=float32)

Bijectors

Bijectors
- Add bijectors to mimic tf.nest.flatten (tfb.tree_flatten) and tf.nest.pack_sequence_as (tfb.pack_sequence_as).
- Adds tfp.experimental.bijectors.Sharded
- Remove deprecated tfb.ScaleTrilL. Use tfb.FillScaleTriL instead.
- Adds cls.parameter_properties() annotations for Bijectors.
- Extend range tfb.Power to all reals for odd integer powers.
- Infer the log-deg-jacobian of scalar bijectors using autodiff, if not otherwise specified.

Restructuring bijectors

ex = (tf.constant(1.), dict(b=tf.constant(2.), c=tf.constant(3.)))
b = tfb.tree_flatten(ex)
print(b.forward(ex))
print(b.inverse(list(tf.constant([1., 2, 3]))))

WARNING:tensorflow:6 out of the last 6 calls to <function windowed_adaptive_hmc at 0x7fda42bed8c0> triggered tf.function retracing. Tracing is expensive and the excessive number of tracings could be due to (1) creating @tf.function repeatedly in a loop, (2) passing tensors with different shapes, (3) passing Python objects instead of tensors. For (1), please define your @tf.function outside of the loop. For (2), @tf.function has reduce_retracing=True option that relaxes argument shapes that can avoid unnecessary retracing. For (3), please refer to https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/function#controlling_retracing and https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/function for  more details.

- Add Chandrupatla's method for finding roots of scalar functions.
Stats
- tfp.stats.windowed_mean efficiently computes windowed means.
- tfp.stats.windowed_variance efficiently and accurately computes windowed variances.
- tfp.stats.cumulative_variance efficiently and accurately computes cumulative variances.
- RunningCovariance and friends can now be initialized from an example Tensor, not just from explicit shape and dtype.
- Cleaner API for RunningCentralMoments, RunningMean, RunningPotentialScaleReduction.
