The Empirical distribution is parameterized by a (batch) multiset of samples. It describes the empirical measure (observations) of a variable. Note: some methods (log_prob, prob, cdf, mode, entropy) are not differentiable with regard to samples.

)a distribution instance.
Numeric Tensor of shape [B1, ..., Bk, S, E1, ..., En],
k, n >= 0. Samples or batches of samples on which the distribution
is based. The first k dimensions index into a batch of independent
distributions. Length of S dimension determines number of samples
in each multiset. The last n dimension represents samples for each
distribution. n is specified by argument event_ndims.
int32, default 0. number of dimensions for each
event. When 0 this distribution has scalar samples. When 1 this
distribution has vector-like samples.
Logical, default FALSE. When TRUE distribution parameters are checked for validity despite possibly degrading runtime performance. When FALSE invalid inputs may silently render incorrect outputs. Default value: FALSE.
Logical, 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.

Mathematical Details
The probability mass function (pmf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) are
pmf(k; s1, ..., sn) = sum_i I(k)^{k == si} / n
I(k)^{k == si} == 1, if k == si, else 0.
cdf(k; s1, ..., sn) = sum_i I(k)^{k >= si} / n
I(k)^{k >= si} == 1, if k >= si, else 0.
