Interface CanGetLogAverageOfPower<T>

Whether the distribution can compute the expectation of another distribution raised to a power.

Namespace: Microsoft.ML.Probabilistic.Distributions

Assembly: Microsoft.ML.Probabilistic.dll

Syntax

public interface CanGetLogAverageOfPower<in T>

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The distribution type

Methods

GetLogAverageOfPower(T, Double)

The log-integral of one distribution times another raised to a power.

Declaration

double GetLogAverageOfPower(T that, double power)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	that	The other distribution
Double	power	The exponent

Returns

Type	Description
Double	Math.Log(sum_x this.Evaluate(x)*Math.Pow(that.Evaluate(x),power))

Remarks

This is not the same as GetLogAverageOf(that^power) because it includes the normalization constant of that.
