Why is the softmax used to represent a probability distribution?
In fact, page 203 states that for class conditional distributions, i.e. $ X \mid \mathcal{C}_k $, that are members of the exponential family of distributions, the $ a_k $ functions are affine functions … An example is linear discriminant analysis, which assumes Gaussian class-conditional distributions with a shared covariance matrix, as equation (4.68) on page 199 shows that the $ a_k $ function is affine …
