"""The SinhArcsinh transformation of a distribution on `(-inf, inf)`.
This distribution models a random variable, making use of
a `SinhArcsinh` transformation (which has adjustable tailweight and skew),
a rescaling, and a shift.
The `SinhArcsinh` transformation of the Normal is described in great depth in
[Sinh-arcsinh distributions](https://www.jstor.org/stable/27798865).
Here we use a slightly different parameterization, in terms of `tailweight`
and `skewness`. Additionally we allow for distributions other than Normal,
and control over `scale` as well as a "shift" parameter `loc`.
#### Mathematical Details
Given random variable `Z`, we define the SinhArcsinh
transformation of `Z`, `Y`, parameterized by
`(loc, scale, skewness, tailweight)`, via the relation:
```
Y := loc + scale * F(Z) * (2 / F_0(2))
F(Z) := Sinh( (Arcsinh(Z) + skewness) * tailweight )
F_0(Z) := Sinh( Arcsinh(Z) * tailweight )
```
This distribution is similar to the location-scale transformation
`L(Z) := loc + scale * Z` in the following ways:
* If `skewness = 0` and `tailweight = 1` (the defaults), `F(Z) = Z`, and then
`Y = L(Z)` exactly.
* `loc` is used in both to shift the result by a constant factor.
* The multiplication of `scale` by `2 / F_0(2)` ensures that if `skewness = 0`
`P[Y - loc <= 2 * scale] = P[L(Z) - loc <= 2 * scale]`.
Thus it can be said that the weights in the tails of `Y` and `L(Z)` beyond
`loc + 2 * scale` are the same.
This distribution is different than `loc + scale * Z` due to the
reshaping done by `F`:
* Positive (negative) `skewness` leads to positive (negative) skew.
* positive skew means, the mode of `F(Z)` is "tilted" to the right.
* positive skew means positive values of `F(Z)` become more likely, and
negative values become less likely.
* Larger (smaller) `tailweight` leads to fatter (thinner) tails.
* Fatter tails mean larger values of `|F(Z)|` become more likely.
* `tailweight < 1` leads to a distribution that is "flat" around `Y = loc`,
and a very steep drop-off in the tails.
* `tailweight > 1` leads to a distribution more peaked at the mode with
heavier tails.
To see the argument about the tails, note that for `|Z| >> 1` and
`|Z| >> (|skewness| * tailweight)**tailweight`, we have
`Y approx 0.5 Z**tailweight e**(sign(Z) skewness * tailweight)`.
To see the argument regarding multiplying `scale` by `2 / F_0(2)`,
```
P[(Y - loc) / scale <= 2] = P[F(Z) * (2 / F_0(2)) <= 2]
= P[F(Z) <= F_0(2)]
= P[Z <= 2] (if F = F_0).
```

"""Construct SinhArcsinh distribution on `(-inf, inf)`.
Arguments `(loc, scale, skewness, tailweight)` must have broadcastable shape
(indexing batch dimensions). They must all have the same `dtype`.
Args:
loc: Floating-point `Tensor`.
scale: `Tensor` of same `dtype` as `loc`.
skewness: Skewness parameter. Default is `0.0` (no skew).
tailweight: Tailweight parameter. Default is `1.0` (unchanged tailweight)
distribution: `tf.Distribution`-like instance. Distribution that is
transformed to produce this distribution.
Default is `tfp.distributions.Normal(0., 1.)`.
Must be a scalar-batch, scalar-event distribution. Typically
`distribution.reparameterization_type = FULLY_REPARAMETERIZED` or it is
a function of non-trainable parameters. WARNING: If you backprop through
a `SinhArcsinh` sample and `distribution` is not
`FULLY_REPARAMETERIZED` yet is a function of trainable variables, then
the gradient will be incorrect!
validate_args: Python `bool`, default `False`. When `True` distribution
parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime
performance. When `False` invalid inputs may silently render incorrect
outputs.
allow_nan_stats: Python `bool`, default `True`. When `True`,
statistics (e.g., mean, mode, variance) use the value "`NaN`" to
indicate the result is undefined. When `False`, an exception is raised
if one or more of the statistic's batch members are undefined.
name: Python `str` name prefixed to Ops created by this class.
