The truncated normal is a normal distribution bounded between low
and high (the pdf is 0 outside these bounds and renormalized).
Samples from this distribution are differentiable with respect to loc,
scale as well as the bounds, low and high, i.e., this
implementation is fully reparameterizeable.
For more details, see here.
tfd_truncated_normal( loc, scale, low, high, validate_args = FALSE, allow_nan_stats = TRUE, name = "TruncatedNormal" )
| loc | Floating point tensor; the means of the distribution(s). |
|---|---|
| scale | loating point tensor; the stddevs of the distribution(s). Must contain only positive values. |
| low |
|
| high |
|
| validate_args | Logical, default FALSE. When TRUE distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When FALSE invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: FALSE. |
| allow_nan_stats | Logical, default TRUE. When TRUE, statistics (e.g., mean, mode, variance) use the value NaN to indicate the result is undefined. When FALSE, an exception is raised if one or more of the statistic's batch members are undefined. |

Mathematical Details
The probability density function (pdf) of this distribution is:
pdf(x; loc, scale, low, high) =
{ (2 pi)**(-0.5) exp(-0.5 y**2) / (scale * z)} for low <= x <= high
{ 0 } otherwise
y = (x - loc)/scale
z = NormalCDF((high - loc) / scale) - NormalCDF((lower - loc) / scale)
where:
NormalCDF is the cumulative density function of the Normal distribution
with 0 mean and unit variance.
This is a scalar distribution so the event shape is always scalar and the dimensions of the parameters defined the batch_shape.
For usage examples see e.g. tfd_sample(), tfd_log_prob(), tfd_mean().
