The matrix Wishart distribution on positive definite matrices.

This distribution is defined by a scalar degrees of freedom `df` and a
symmetric, positive definite scale matrix.

Evaluation of the pdf, determinant, and sampling are all `O(k^3)` operations
where `(k, k)` is the event space shape.

#### Mathematical details.

The PDF of this distribution is,

```
f(X) = det(X)^(0.5 (df-k-1)) exp(-0.5 tr[inv(scale) X]) / B(scale, df)
```

where `df >= k` denotes the degrees of freedom, `scale` is a symmetric, pd,
`k x k` matrix, and the normalizing constant `B(scale, df)` is given by:

```
B(scale, df) = 2^(0.5 df k) |det(scale)|^(0.5 df) Gamma_k(0.5 df)
```

where `Gamma_k` is the multivariate Gamma function.

#### Examples

```python
# Initialize a single 3x3 Wishart with Full factored scale matrix and 5
# degrees-of-freedom.(*)
df = 5
scale = ...  # Shape is [3, 3]; positive definite.
dist = tf.contrib.distributions.WishartFull(df=df, scale=scale)

# Evaluate this on an observation in R^3, returning a scalar.
x = ... # A 3x3 positive definite matrix.
dist.pdf(x)  # Shape is [], a scalar.

# Evaluate this on a two observations, each in R^{3x3}, returning a length two
# Tensor.
x = [x0, x1]  # Shape is [2, 3, 3].
dist.pdf(x)  # Shape is [2].

# Initialize two 3x3 Wisharts with Full factored scale matrices.
df = [5, 4]
scale = ...  # Shape is [2, 3, 3].
dist = tf.contrib.distributions.WishartFull(df=df, scale=scale)

# Evaluate this on four observations.
x = [[x0, x1], [x2, x3]]  # Shape is [2, 2, 3, 3]; xi is positive definite.
dist.pdf(x)  # Shape is [2, 2].

# (*) - To efficiently create a trainable covariance matrix, see the example
#   in tf.contrib.distributions.matrix_diag_transform.

#### `tf.contrib.distributions.WishartFull.__init__(df, scale, cholesky_input_output_matrices=False, validate_args=False, allow_nan_stats=True, name='WishartFull')` {#WishartFull.__init__}

Construct Wishart distributions.

##### Args:


*  <b>`df`</b>: `float` or `double` `Tensor`. Degrees of freedom, must be greater than
    or equal to dimension of the scale matrix.
*  <b>`scale`</b>: `float` or `double` `Tensor`. The symmetric positive definite
    scale matrix of the distribution.
*  <b>`cholesky_input_output_matrices`</b>: `Boolean`. Any function which whose input
    or output is a matrix assumes the input is Cholesky and returns a
    Cholesky factored matrix. Example`log_pdf` input takes a Cholesky and
    `sample_n` returns a Cholesky when
    `cholesky_input_output_matrices=True`.
*  <b>`validate_args`</b>: `Boolean`, default `False`.  Whether to validate input with
    asserts. If `validate_args` is `False`, and the inputs are invalid,
    correct behavior is not guaranteed.
*  <b>`allow_nan_stats`</b>: `Boolean`, default `True`. If `False`, raise an
    exception if a statistic (e.g., mean, mode) is undefined for any batch
    member. If True, batch members with valid parameters leading to
    undefined statistics will return `NaN` for this statistic.
*  <b>`name`</b>: The name scope to give class member ops.

#### `tf.contrib.distributions.WishartFull.allow_nan_stats` {#WishartFull.allow_nan_stats}

Python boolean describing behavior when a stat is undefined.

Stats return +/- infinity when it makes sense.  E.g., the variance
of a Cauchy distribution is infinity.  However, sometimes the
statistic is undefined, e.g., if a distribution's pdf does not achieve a
maximum within the support of the distribution, the mode is undefined.
If the mean is undefined, then by definition the variance is undefined.
E.g. the mean for Student's T for df = 1 is undefined (no clear way to say
it is either + or - infinity), so the variance = E[(X - mean)^2] is also
undefined.

##### Returns:


*  <b>`allow_nan_stats`</b>: Python boolean.

                         = Log[ 1 - cdf(x) ]
