[docs]class Multinomial(Distribution): r""" Creates a Multinomial distribution parameterized by :attr:`total_count` and either :attr:`probs` or :attr:`logits` (but not both). The innermost dimension of :attr:`probs` indexes over categories. All other dimensions index over batches. Note that :attr:`total_count` need not be specified if only :meth:`log_prob` is called (see example below) .. note:: The `probs` argument must be non-negative, finite and have a non-zero sum, and it will be normalized to sum to 1 along the last dimension. :attr:`probs` will return this normalized value. The `logits` argument will be interpreted as unnormalized log probabilities and can therefore be any real number. It will likewise be normalized so that the resulting probabilities sum to 1 along the last dimension. :attr:`logits` will return this normalized value. - :meth:`sample` requires a single shared `total_count` for all parameters and samples. - :meth:`log_prob` allows different `total_count` for each parameter and sample. Example:: >>> # xdoctest: +SKIP("FIXME: found invalid values") >>> m = Multinomial(100, torch.tensor([ 1., 1., 1., 1.])) >>> x = m.sample() # equal probability of 0, 1, 2, 3 tensor([ 21., 24., 30., 25.]) >>> Multinomial(probs=torch.tensor([1., 1., 1., 1.])).log_prob(x) tensor([-4.1338]) Args: total_count (int): number of trials probs (Tensor): event probabilities logits (Tensor): event log probabilities (unnormalized) """ arg_constraints = {"probs": constraints.simplex, "logits": constraints.real_vector} total_count: int @property def mean(self): return self.probs * self.total_count @property def variance(self): return self.total_count * self.probs * (1 - self.probs) def __init__(self, total_count=1, probs=None, logits=None, validate_args=None): if not isinstance(total_count, int): raise NotImplementedError("inhomogeneous total_count is not supported") self.total_count = total_count self._categorical = Categorical(probs=probs, logits=logits) self._binomial = Binomial(total_count=total_count, probs=self.probs) batch_shape = self._categorical.batch_shape event_shape = self._categorical.param_shape[-1:] super().__init__(batch_shape, event_shape, validate_args=validate_args)
