  """Wrap an existing distribution as a traceable random variable.

  This enables the use of custom or user-provided distributions in
  Edward models. Unlike a bare `RandomVariable` object, this method
  wraps the constructor so it is included in the Edward trace and its
  values can be properly intercepted and overridden.

  Where possible, you should prefer the built-in constructors
  (`ed.Normal`, etc); these simultaneously construct a Distribution
  and a RandomVariable object so that the distribution parameters
  themselves may be intercepted and overridden. RVs constructed via
  `as_random_variable()` have a fixed distribution and may not support
  program transformations (e.g, conjugate marginalization) that rely
  on overriding distribution parameters.

  Args:
    distribution: tfd.Distribution governing the distribution of the random
      variable, such as sampling and log-probabilities.
    sample_shape: tf.TensorShape of samples to draw from the random variable.
      Default is `()` corresponding to a single sample.
    value: Fixed tf.Tensor to associate with random variable. Must have shape
      `sample_shape + distribution.batch_shape + distribution.event_shape`.
      Default is to sample from random variable according to `sample_shape`.

  Returns:
    rv: a `RandomVariable` wrapping the provided distribution.

  #### Example

  ```python
  from tensorflow_probability import distributions as tfd
  from tensorflow_probability import edward2 as ed

  def model():
    # equivalent to ed.Normal(0., 1., name='x')
    return ed.as_random_variable(tfd.Normal(0., 1., name='x'))

  log_joint = ed.make_log_joint_fn(model)
  output = log_joint(x=2.)
