distr_normal function

Creates a normal (also called Gaussian) distribution parameterized by loc and scale.

distr_normal(loc, scale, validate_args = NULL)

Arguments

• loc: (float or Tensor): mean of the distribution (often referred to as mu)
• scale: (float or Tensor): standard deviation of the distribution (often referred to as sigma)
• validate_args: Additional arguments

Returns

Object of torch_Normal class

Examples

if (torch_is_installed()) {
m <- distr_normal(loc = 0, scale = 1)
m$sample() # normally distributed with loc=0 and scale=1
}
