mindspore.numpy.cov

mindspore.numpy.cov(m, y=None, rowvar=True, bias=False, ddof=None, fweights=None, aweights=None, dtype=None)[源代码]

Estimates a covariance matrix, given data and weights.

Covariance indicates the level to which two variables vary together. If we examine N-dimensional samples, X=[x1,x2,...xN]T, then the covariance matrix element Cij is the covariance of xi and xj. The element Cii is the variance of xi.

Note

fweights and aweights must be all positive, in Numpy if negative values are detected, a value error will be raised, in MindSpore we converts all values to positive instead.

Parameters
  • m (Union[Tensor, list, tuple]) – A 1-D or 2-D tensor containing multiple variables and observations. Each row of m represents a variable, and each column represents a single observation of all those variables. Also see rowvar below.

  • y (Union[Tensor, list, tuple], optional) – An additional set of variables and observations. y has the same form as that of m, default is None.

  • rowvar (bool, optional) – If rowvar is True (default), then each row represents a variable, with observations in the columns. Otherwise, the relationship is transposed: each column represents a variable, while the rows contain observations.

  • bias (bool, optional) – Default Normalization (False) is by (N1), where N is the number of observations given (unbiased estimate). If bias is True, then Normalization is by N. These values can be overridden by using the keyword ddof.

  • ddof (int, optional) – If not None, the default value implied by bias is overridden. Note that ddof=1 will return the unbiased estimate, even if both fweights and aweights are specified, and ddof=0 will return the simple average. See the notes for the details. The default value is None.

  • fweights (Union[Tensor, list, tuple], optional) – 1-D tensor of integer frequency weights; the number of times each observation vector should be repeated. The default value is None.

  • aweights (Union[Tensor, list, tuple], optional) – 1-D tensor of observation vector weights. These relative weights are typically larger for observations considered more important and smaller for observations considered less important. If ddof=0 the tensor of weights can be used to assign probabilities to observation vectors. The default value is None.

  • dtype (Union[mindspore.dtype, str], optional) – Data-type of the result. By default, the return data-type will have mstype.float32 precision. Default is None.

Returns

Tensor, the covariance matrix of the variables.

Raises
  • TypeError – If the inputs have types not specified above.

  • ValueError – If m and y have wrong dimensions.

  • RuntimeError – If aweights and fweights have dimensions > 2.
