# chainer.distributions.LogNormal¶

class chainer.distributions.LogNormal(mu, sigma)[source]

Logatithm Normal Distribution.

The probability density function of the distribution is expressed as

$p(x;\mu,\sigma) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}x} \exp\left(-\frac{(\log{x}-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)$
Parameters: mu (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Parameter of distribution $$\mu$$. sigma (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Parameter of distribution $$\sigma$$.

Methods

cdf(x)[source]

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x. Variable
icdf(x)[source]

Evaluates the inverse cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Inverse cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x. Variable
log_cdf(x)[source]

Evaluates the log of cumulative distribution function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Logarithm of cumulative distribution function value evaluated at x. Variable
log_prob(x)[source]

Evaluates the logarithm of probability at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Logarithm of probability evaluated at x. Variable
log_survival_function(x)[source]

Evaluates the logarithm of survival function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Logarithm of survival function value evaluated at x. Variable
perplexity(x)[source]

Evaluates the perplexity function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Perplexity function value evaluated at x. Variable
prob(x)[source]

Evaluates probability at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Probability evaluated at x. Variable
sample(sample_shape=())[source]

Samples random points from the distribution.

This function calls sample_n and reshapes a result of sample_n to sample_shape + batch_shape + event_shape. On implementing sampling code in an inherited ditribution class, it is not recommended to override this function. Instead of doing this, it is preferable to override sample_n.

Parameters: sample_shape (tuple of int) – Sampling shape. Sampled random points. Variable
sample_n(n)[source]

Samples n random points from the distribution.

This function returns sampled points whose shape is (n,) + batch_shape + event_shape. When implementing sampling code in a subclass, it is recommended to override this method.

Parameters: n (int) – Sampling size. sampled random points. Variable
survival_function(x)[source]

Evaluates the survival function at the given points.

Parameters: x (Variable or N-dimensional array) – Data points in the domain of the distribution Survival function value evaluated at x. Variable
