vi_pearson {tfprobability}R Documentation

The Pearson Csiszar-function in log-space

Description

A Csiszar-function is a member of ⁠F = { f:R_+ to R : f convex }⁠.

Usage

vi_pearson(logu, name = NULL)

Arguments

logu

float-like Tensor representing log(u) from above.

name

name prefixed to Ops created by this function.

Details

The Pearson Csiszar-function is:

f(u) = (u - 1)**2

Warning: this function makes non-log-space calculations and may therefore be numerically unstable for ⁠|logu| >> 0⁠.

Value

pearson_of_u: float-like Tensor of the Csiszar-function evaluated at u = exp(logu).
