mindspore.ops.mean

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

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.

Note

The axis with tensor type is only used for compatibility with older versions and is not recommended.

Parameters

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

  • axis (Union[int, tuple(int), list(int), Tensor]) – 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, list or Tensor.

  • TypeError – If keep_dims is not a bool.

  • ValueError – If axis is out of range.
