Compute g(X) = X @ X.T; X is lower-triangular, positive-diagonal matrix.

Inherits From: Bijector

tf.contrib.distributions.bijectors.CholeskyOuterProduct(
    validate_args=False, name='cholesky_outer_product'
)

The surjectivity of g as a map from the set of n x n positive-diagonal lower-triangular matrices to the set of SPD matrices follows immediately from executing the Cholesky factorization algorithm on an SPD matrix A to produce a positive-diagonal lower-triangular matrix L such that A = L @ L.T.

To prove the injectivity of g, suppose that L_1 and L_2 are lower-triangular with positive diagonals and satisfy A = L_1 @ L_1.T = L_2 @ L_2.T. Then inv(L_1) @ A @ inv(L_1).T = [inv(L_1) @ L_2] @ [inv(L_1) @ L_2].T = I. Setting L_3 := inv(L_1) @ L_2, that L_3 is a positive-diagonal lower-triangular matrix follows from inv(L_1) being positive-diagonal lower-triangular (which follows from the diagonal of a triangular matrix being its spectrum), and that the product of two positive-diagonal lower-triangular matrices is another positive-diagonal lower-triangular matrix.

A simple inductive argument (proceeding one column of L_3 at a time) shows that, if I = L_3 @ L_3.T, with L_3 being lower-triangular with positive- diagonal, then L_3 = I. Thus, L_1 = L_2, proving injectivity of g.

Examples

bijector.CholeskyOuterProduct().forward(x=[[1., 0], [2, 1]])
# Result: [[1., 2], [2, 5]], i.e., x @ x.T

bijector.CholeskyOuterProduct().inverse(y=[[1., 2], [2, 5]])
# Result: [[1., 0], [2, 1]], i.e., cholesky(y).

Methods

forward

View source

forward(
    x, name='forward'
)

Returns the forward Bijector evaluation, i.e., X = g(Y).

Args
x Tensor. The input to the "forward" evaluation.
name The name to give this op.

Returns
Tensor.

Raises
TypeError if self.dtype is specified and x.dtype is not self.dtype.
NotImplementedError if _forward is not implemented.

forward_event_shape

View source

forward_event_shape(
    input_shape
)

Shape of a single sample from a single batch as a TensorShape.

Same meaning as forward_event_shape_tensor. May be only partially defined.

Args
input_shape TensorShape indicating event-portion shape passed into forward function.

Returns
forward_event_shape_tensor TensorShape indicating event-portion shape after applying forward. Possibly unknown.

forward_event_shape_tensor

View source

forward_event_shape_tensor(
    input_shape, name='forward_event_shape_tensor'
)

Shape of a single sample from a single batch as an int32 1D Tensor.

Args
input_shape Tensor, int32 vector indicating event-portion shape passed into forward function.
name name to give to the op

Returns
forward_event_shape_tensor Tensor, int32 vector indicating event-portion shape after applying forward.

forward_log_det_jacobian

View source

forward_log_det_jacobian(
    x, event_ndims, name='forward_log_det_jacobian'
)

Returns both the forward_log_det_jacobian.

Args
x Tensor. The input to the "forward" Jacobian determinant evaluation.
event_ndims Number of dimensions in the probabilistic events being transformed. Must be greater than or equal to self.forward_min_event_ndims. The result is summed over the final dimensions to produce a scalar Jacobian determinant for each event, i.e. it has shape x.shape.ndims - event_ndims dimensions.
name The name to give this op.

Returns
Tensor, if this bijector is injective. If not injective this is not implemented.

Raises
TypeError if self.dtype is specified and y.dtype is not self.dtype.
NotImplementedError if neither _forward_log_det_jacobian nor {_inverse, _inverse_log_det_jacobian} are implemented, or this is a non-injective bijector.

inverse

View source

inverse(
    y, name='inverse'
)

Returns the inverse Bijector evaluation, i.e., X = g^{-1}(Y).

Args
y Tensor. The input to the "inverse" evaluation.
name The name to give this op.

Returns
Tensor, if this bijector is injective. If not injective, returns the k-tuple containing the unique k points (x1, ..., xk) such that g(xi) = y.

Raises
TypeError if self.dtype is specified and y.dtype is not self.dtype.
NotImplementedError if _inverse is not implemented.

inverse_event_shape

View source

inverse_event_shape(
    output_shape

Shape of a single sample from a single batch as a TensorShape.

Same meaning as inverse_event_shape_tensor. May be only partially defined.

Args
output_shape TensorShape indicating event-portion shape passed into inverse function.

Returns
inverse_event_shape_tensor TensorShape indicating event-portion shape after applying inverse. Possibly unknown.

inverse_event_shape_tensor

Shape of a single sample from a single batch as an int32 1D Tensor.

inverse_log_det_jacobian

View source

inverse_log_det_jacobian(
    y, event_ndims, name='inverse_log_det_jacobian'
)

Returns the (log o det o Jacobian o inverse)(y).

Mathematically, returns: log(det(dX/dY))(Y). (Recall that: X=g^{-1}(Y).)

Note that forward_log_det_jacobian is the negative of this function, evaluated at g^{-1}(y).

Args
y Tensor. The input to the "inverse" Jacobian determinant evaluation.
event_ndims Number of dimensions in the probabilistic events being transformed. Must be greater than or equal to self.inverse_min_event_ndims. The result is summed over the final dimensions to produce a scalar Jacobian determinant for each event, i.e. it has shape y.shape.ndims - event_ndims dimensions.
name The name to give this op.

Returns
Tensor, if this bijector is injective. If not injective, returns the tuple of local log det Jacobians, log(det(Dg_i^{-1}(y))), where g_i is the restriction of g to the ith partition Di.

Raises
TypeError if self.dtype is specified and y.dtype is not self.dtype.
NotImplementedError if _inverse_log_det_jacobian is not implemented.
