class Beta(ExponentialFamily):
r"""
Beta distribution parameterized by :attr:`concentration1` and :attr:`concentration0`.
Example::
>>> # xdoctest: +IGNORE_WANT("non-deterministic")
>>> m = Beta(tensorplay.tensor([0.5]), tensorplay.tensor([0.5]))
>>> m.sample() # Beta distributed with concentration concentration1 and concentration0
tensor([ 0.1046])
Args:
concentration1 (float or Tensor): 1st concentration parameter of the distribution
(often referred to as alpha)
concentration0 (float or Tensor): 2nd concentration parameter of the distribution
(often referred to as beta)
