tfc.distributions.estimate_tails(
func, target, shape, dtype
)
This runs a simple Adam iteration to determine tail quantiles. The
objective is to find an x such that:
func(x) == target
For instance, if func is a CDF and the target is a quantile value, this
would find the approximate location of that quantile. Note that func is
assumed to be monotonic. When each tail estimate has passed the optimal value
of x, the algorithm does 100 additional iterations and then stops.
This operation is vectorized. The tensor shape of x is given by shape, and
target must have a shape that is broadcastable to the output of func(x).
