DistributionEntropy¶
Calculate the entropy of a provided (wired-in) probability distribution.
This is generally a scalar, but the value will be an array if the distribution itself is batched, as in, is parameterized by a batch of parameters (e.g., multiple sets of locations or scales). In these cases, the shape of the result is (batch_shape). Note that the entropy is not available if your you have chosen numpyro as the backend for your distribution, but when available, it is the analytic, i.e. exact, result. Entropy is also not readily available for sampling-based distributions (e.g., those obtained from one of the Inference nodes). More Info... Version 1.0.0
Ports/Properties¶
dist¶
Distribution to use.
- verbose name: Dist
- default value: None
- port type: DataPort
- value type: Distribution (can be None)
- data direction: IN
value¶
Resulting value.
- verbose name: Value

metadata¶
User-definable meta-data associated with the node. Usually reserved for technical purposes.
- verbose name: Metadata
