torch-two-sample

A PyTorch library for differentiable two-sample tests

Description

This package implements a total of six two sample tests:

• The classical Friedman-Rafsky test [FR79].
• The classical k-nearest neighbours (kNN) test [FR83].
• The differentiable Friedman-Rafsky test [DK17].
• The differentiable k-nearest neighbours (kNN) test [DK17].
• The maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) test [GBR+12].
• The energy test [SzekelyR13].

Please refer to the documentation for more information about the project. You can also have a look at the following notebook that showcases how to use the code to train a generative model on MNIST.

Installation

After installing PyTorch, you can install the package with:

python setup.py install

Testing

To run the tests you simply have to run:

python setup.py test

Note that you will need to have Shogun installed for one of the test cases.
