Problem description

Describe the bug so that we can quickly locate the problem.

mindspore.Tensor.var

Tensor.var(axis=None, ddof=0, keepdims=False)[source]

Compute the variance along the specified axis.

The variance is the average of the squared deviations from the mean, i.e., var=mean(abs(xx.mean())2).

Return the variance, which is computed for the flattened array by default, otherwise over the specified axis.

Note

Numpy arguments dtype, out and where are not supported.

Parameters
  • axis (Union[None, int, tuple(int)]) – Axis or axes along which the variance is computed. The default is to compute the variance of the flattened array. Default: None .

  • ddof (int) – Means Delta Degrees of Freedom. Default: 0 . The divisor used in calculations is Nddof, where N represents the number of elements.

  • keepdims (bool) – Default: False .

Returns

Variance tensor.

Supported Platforms:

Ascend GPU CPU
