gluonts.mx.distribution.poisson module

class gluonts.mx.distribution.poisson.Poisson(rate: Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol])

Bases: gluonts.mx.distribution.distribution.Distribution

Poisson distribution, i.e. the distribution of the number of successes in a specified region.

Parameters

• rate – Tensor containing the means, of shape (*batch_shape, *event_shape).

• F –

property F

arg_names = None

property args

property batch_shape

Layout of the set of events contemplated by the distribution.

Invoking sample() from a distribution yields a tensor of shape batch_shape + event_shape, and computing log_prob (or loss more in general) on such sample will yield a tensor of shape batch_shape.

This property is available in general only in mx.ndarray mode, when the shape of the distribution arguments can be accessed.

property event_dim

Number of event dimensions, i.e., length of the event_shape tuple.

This is 0 for distributions over scalars, 1 over vectors, 2 over matrices, and so on.

property event_shape

Shape of each individual event contemplated by the distribution.

For example, distributions over scalars have event_shape = (), over vectors have event_shape = (d, ) where d is the length of the vectors, over matrices have event_shape = (d1, d2), and so on.

Invoking sample() from a distribution yields a tensor of shape batch_shape + event_shape.

This property is available in general only in mx.ndarray mode, when the shape of the distribution arguments can be accessed.

is_reparameterizable = False

log_prob(x: Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol]) → Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol]

Compute the log-density of the distribution at x.

Parameters

x – Tensor of shape (*batch_shape, *event_shape).

Returns

Tensor of shape batch_shape containing the log-density of the distribution for each event in x.

Return type

Tensor

property mean

Tensor containing the mean of the distribution.

sample(num_samples: Optional[int] = None, dtype=<class 'numpy.float32'>) → Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol]

Draw samples from the distribution.

If num_samples is given the first dimension of the output will be num_samples.

Parameters

• num_samples – Number of samples to to be drawn.

• dtype – Data-type of the samples.

Returns

A tensor containing samples. This has shape (*batch_shape, *eval_shape) if num_samples = None and (num_samples, *batch_shape, *eval_shape) otherwise.

Return type

Tensor

property stddev

Tensor containing the standard deviation of the distribution.

distr_cls

alias of Poisson

distribution(distr_args, loc: Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol, None] = None, scale: Union[mxnet.ndarray.ndarray.NDArray, mxnet.symbol.symbol.Symbol, None] = None) → gluonts.mx.distribution.poisson.Poisson

Construct the associated distribution, given the collection of constructor arguments and, optionally, a scale tensor.

Parameters

• distr_args – Constructor arguments for the underlying Distribution type.

• loc – Optional tensor, of the same shape as the batch_shape+event_shape of the resulting distribution.

• scale – Optional tensor, of the same shape as the batch_shape+event_shape of the resulting distribution.

classmethod domain_map(F, rate)

Converts arguments to the right shape and domain. The domain depends on the type of distribution, while the correct shape is obtained by reshaping the trailing axis in such a way that the returned tensors define a distribution of the right event_shape.

property event_shape

Shape of each individual event contemplated by the distributions that this object constructs.
