The autosummary class template passed a bare `:inherited-members:`. Sphinx reads that as "stop at `object`", so every class page documented the full `torch.nn.Module` surface. The `CNNEmbedding` page listed 54 members, one of which was sbi's. Pass `Module` instead, so the walk stops there. Members that come from sbi's own base classes stay. `training` needs a separate exclusion, because it is an annotation on `nn.Module`, and `:inherited-members:` only filters members that a class defines. 16 pages change, from 954 documented members to 104. The other 67 pages do not change, and neither does the Sphinx warning count.
Five members survive the inherited-members filter without a docstring, so they render as bare names. `CNNEmbedding.forward` is the only member on its page. `RatioEstimator.loss` overrode a documented base method with a bare `raise NotImplementedError()`. That dropped the inherited text and left no hint at runtime. Name the reason in the docstring and in the error. Also state the shape contract of `combine_theta_and_x` and `unnormalized_log_ratio` once, in the arguments, instead of twice.
The nflows builders passed the same suggestion string at four call sites, and the classifier builders at three. That duplication is why the nflows message still named the zuko models only, two releases after `build_mdn` gained support for the option in #1888. Define the string once per module, so the models it names cannot go stale in one copy and not the others.
- `tests/sbiutils_test.py` still said `transform_to_unconstrained` is implemented for the conditional zuko builders only, and that mdn raises. The test's own `model != "mdn"` guard and `test_mdn_transform_to_unconstrained` in the same file say otherwise. Keep only the part that the code does not state, the factory's z-score mapping. - The FAQ example carried two comments. One restated the value beside it, the other repeated the note below the snippet. - "The second argument of N is the variance, which matches `std_fn`" reads as if the variance equals `std_fn`. It is the square.
- The CNN forward docstrings named `input_shape`, but in those classes that name holds `self.input_shape`, which prepends the channel. A reader of `forward` reads it as the constructor argument, and under that meaning the single-channel clause was wrong. Name `in_channels` and `input_shape` as the constructor takes them. Checked against the builder: `(batch_dim, *input_shape)` is accepted for one channel and raises for three. - `causal_mask` skips the `triu` call when `sequence_length` is 1 and returns `min_dtype` everywhere, so "0 elsewhere" did not hold. State the case, and state why it changes nothing: a softmax over one position returns one.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request expands neural-network API documentation, corrects parameter and shape descriptions, updates generated class documentation, and centralizes repeated transform-support guidance in classifier and flow builders. ChangesDocumentation and validation guidance
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR improves API documentation, but MixedDensityEstimator guidance still risks sending users to sample when they need log_prob for density evaluation. This is a bounded, non-runtime issue and the change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to clarify the wording. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Distinguish sampling from density evaluation.
sample only generates samples. It does not evaluate the input passed to forward. When a caller needs density evaluation, it must call MixedDensityEstimator.log_prob at Line [127]. Update this docstring and the exception text starting at Line [62] to direct callers to sample for generation and log_prob for evaluation.
Proposed clarification
- NotImplementedError: Always. Use `sample` instead.

Problem
Each class page in the API reference shows all the members of
torch.nn.Module. TheCNNEmbeddingpage shows 54 members. Only one member belongs to sbi. The reader seesbfloat16(),ipu()andregister_full_backward_pre_hook()before that member.Cause and correction
The autosummary class template gives
:inherited-members:with no argument. Sphinx reads this as "stop atobject". Sphinx then walks the full MRO. The option accepts the class to stop at. This PR givesModule.The template also excludes
training.trainingis an annotation onnn.Module. Sphinx removes only the members that a class defines, thus the first option cannot removetraining.Result
The pages keep the members that come from the sbi base classes.
ConditionalScoreEstimatorkeepsode_fn,to_z,from_z,log_abs_det,input_shapeandcondition_shape. The:show-inheritance:option continues to show the base class. Intersphinx makes a link from the base class to the PyTorch documentation. The reader can still find the torch API.16 pages change. All 16 pages are subclasses of
nn.Module.The other 67 pages do not change. The distribution classes, for example
BoxUniform, keep their inherited members. For those classes,sample()andlog_prob()are the interface.Other corrections in this PR
The shorter pages show which sbi members have no docstring. Five members had no docstring:
CNNEmbedding.forward,CausalCNNEmbedding.forward,MixedDensityEstimator.forward,RatioEstimator.lossandTransformerEmbedding.causal_mask. This PR adds a docstring to each member.RatioEstimator.lossalso raised aNotImplementedErrorwith no message. The error now tells the user that the NRE trainers calculate the loss.The nflows builders gave the same suggestion string at four locations. The classifier builders gave a second string at three locations. This duplication made a message become stale: the nflows message named only the zuko models for two releases after #1888 added support to
build_mdn. Each string is now in one location in its module.This PR also removes three comments. The comment in
tests/sbiutils_test.pysaid thatmdnraises an error fortransform_to_unconstrained. Themodel != "mdn"condition in the same test shows the opposite.AI usage
