PriorDistribution
Deserializes the PriorTfpDistributions
proto.
WARNING: If any custom functions in the function registry are modified after serialization, the deserialized model can differ from the original model, as the original function's behavior is no longer guaranteed. This will result in an error during deserialization.
For users who are intentionally changing functions and are confident that the changes will not affect the deserialized model, you can bypass safety mechanisms to force deserialization. See example:
Args
serialized
A serialized
PriorDistributions
object.serialized_version
The version of the serialized Meridian model. This is
used to handle changes in deserialization logic across different
versions.
force_deserialization
If True, bypasses the safety check that validates
whether functions within
function_registry
have changed after
serialization. Use with caution. This should only be used if you have
intentionally modified a custom function and are confident that the
changes will not affect the deserialized model. A safer alternative is
to first deserialize the model with the original functions and then
serialize it with the new ones.
