mindspore.ops.mean

mindspore.ops.mean(x, axis=None, keep_dims=False)

Reduces all dimension of a tensor by averaging all elements in the dimension, by default. And reduce a dimension of x along the specified axis. keep_dims determines whether the dimensions of the output and input are the same.

Parameters

• x (Tensor[Number]) – The input tensor. The dtype of the tensor to be reduced is number. $(N,\ast )$ where $\ast$ means, any number of additional dimensions.

• axis (Union[int, tuple(int), list(int)]) – The dimensions to reduce. Default: None , reduce all dimensions. Only constant value is allowed. Assume the rank of x is r, and the value range is [-r,r).

• keep_dims (bool) – If true, keep these reduced dimensions and the length is 1. If false, don’t keep these dimensions. Default: False .

Returns

Tensor, has the same data type as input tensor.

• If axis is None, and keep_dims is False, the output is a 0-D tensor representing the product of all elements in the input tensor.

• If axis is int, set as 1, and keep_dims is False, the shape of output is $(x_0,x_2,...,x_R)$.

• If axis is tuple(int), set as (1, 2), and keep_dims is False , the shape of output is $(x_0,x_3,...,x_R)$.

Raises

• TypeError – If x is not a Tensor.

• TypeError – If axis is not one of the following: int, tuple or list.

• TypeError – If keep_dims is not a bool.

• ValueError – If axis is out of range.
