[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)
