Mixture of components in the same family

Source: R/distributions-mixture_same_family.R
distr_mixture_same_family.Rd

The MixtureSameFamily distribution implements a (batch of) mixture distribution where all component are from different parameterizations of the same distribution type. It is parameterized by a Categorical selecting distribution" (over k component) and a component distribution, i.e., a Distribution with a rightmost batch shape (equal to [k]) which indexes each (batch of) component.

Usage

distr_mixture_same_family(
  mixture_distribution,
  component_distribution,
  validate_args = NULL
)

Arguments

mixture_distribution

torch_distributions.Categorical-like instance. Manages the probability of selecting component. The number of categories must match the rightmost batch dimension of the component_distribution. Must have either scalar batch_shape or batch_shape matching component_distribution.batch_shape[:-1]

component_distribution

torch_distributions.Distribution-like instance. Right-most batch dimension indexes component.

validate_args

Additional arguments

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) {
# Construct Gaussian Mixture Model in 1D consisting of 5 equally
# weighted normal distributions
mix <- distr_categorical(torch_ones(5))
comp <- distr_normal(torch_randn(5), torch_rand(5))
gmm <- distr_mixture_same_family(mix, comp)
}
