revrand.likelihoods.Poisson

class revrand.likelihoods.Poisson(tranfcn='exp')

A Poisson likelihood, useful for various Poisson process tasks.

An exponential transformation function and a softplus transformation function have been implemented.

\[p(y_i | f_i) = \frac{g(f_i)^{y_i} e^{-g(f_i)}}{y_i!}\]

where \(y_i\) is a target, \(f_i\) the value of the latent function corresponding to the target, and \(g(\cdot)\) is the tranformation function, which can be either an exponential function, or a softplus function (\(\log(1 + \exp(f_i)\)).

Parameters:tranfcn (string, optional) – this may be ‘exp’ for an exponential transformation function, or ‘softplus’ for a softplut transformation function.

__init__(tranfcn='exp')
