megengine.functional.mean¶
- mean(inp, axis=None, keepdims=False)[source]¶
Calculates the mean of tensor elements over a given axis (or axes).
- Parameters
inp (
Tensor
) – input tensor. Should have a numeric data type.axis (
Union
[int
,Sequence
[int
],None
]) – axis or axes along which means must be computed. By default, the mean must be computed over the entire tensor. If a sequence of integers, means must be computed over multiple axes.keepdims (
bool
) – ifTrue
, the reduced axes (dimensions) must be included in the result as singleton dimensions, and, accordingly, the result must be compatible with the input tensor (see Broadcasting mechanism and rules). Otherwise, ifFalse
, the reduced axes (dimensions) must not be included in the result.
- Return type
- Returns
if the mean was computed over the entire tensor, a zero-dimensional tensor containing the mean; otherwise, a non-zero-dimensional tensor containing the means. The returned tensor must have a data type determined by Type promotion rules.
Special Cases
Let
N
equal the number of elements over which to compute the mean.If
N
is 0, the mean isNaN
.If \(x_i\) is
NaN
, the mean isNaN
(i.e.,NaN
values propagate).
Examples
>>> F.mean(Tensor([1, 2, 3])) Tensor(2.0, device=xpux:0)
>>> import numpy as np >>> F.mean(Tensor([1, np.nan, 3])) Tensor(nan, device=xpux:0)
Along an axis:
>>> F.mean(Tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]), axis=0) Tensor([2.5 3.5 4.5], device=xpux:0) >>> F.mean(Tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]), axis=1) Tensor([2. 5.], device=xpux:0)
