chainer.distributions.Bernoulli¶

class chainer.distributions.Bernoulli(p=None, logit=None, binary_check=False)[source]¶

Bernoulli Distribution.

The probability mass function of the distribution is expressed as

\[\begin{split}P(x = 1; p) = p \\ P(x = 0; p) = 1 - p\end{split}\]

Parameters

p (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Parameter of distribution representing \(p\). Either p or logit (not both) must have a value.
logit (Variable or N-dimensional array) – distribution representing \(\log\{p/(1-p)\}\). Either p or logit (not both) must have a value.

Methods

cdf(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

icdf(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the inverse cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Inverse cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

log_cdf(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the log of cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Logarithm of cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

log_prob(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the logarithm of probability at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Logarithm of probability evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

log_survival_function(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the logarithm of survival function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Logarithm of survival function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

perplexity(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the perplexity function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Perplexity function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

prob(x)[source]¶

Evaluates probability at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Probability evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable

sample(sample_shape=())[source]¶

Samples random points from the distribution.

This function calls sample_n and reshapes a result of sample_n to sample_shape + batch_shape + event_shape. On implementing sampling code in an inherited ditribution class, it is not recommended to override this function. Instead of doing this, it is preferable to override sample_n.

Parameters: sample_shape (tuple of int) – Sampling shape.
Returns: Sampled random points.
Return type: Variable

sample_n(n)[source]¶

Samples n random points from the distribution.

This function returns sampled points whose shape is (n,) + batch_shape + event_shape. When implementing sampling code in a subclass, it is recommended to override this method.

Parameters: n (int) – Sampling size.
Returns: sampled random points.
Return type: Variable

survival_function(x)[source]¶

Evaluates the survival function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution
Returns: Survival function value evaluated at x.
Return type: Variable
