tf.math.reduce_mean(
input_tensor, axis=None, keepdims=False, name=None
)
Reduces input_tensor along the dimensions given in axis. Unless keepdims is true, the rank of the tensor is reduced by 1 for each entry in axis. If keepdims is true, the reduced dimensions are retained with length 1.
If axis is None, all dimensions are reduced, and a tensor with a single element is returned.
For example:
x = tf.constant([[1., 1.], [2., 2.]])
tf.reduce_mean(x) # 1.5
tf.reduce_mean(x, 0) # [1.5, 1.5]
tf.reduce_mean(x, 1) # [1., 2.]
| Args | |
|---|---|
| input_tensor | The tensor to reduce. Should have numeric type. |
| axis | The dimensions to reduce. If None (the default), reduces all dimensions. Must be in the range [-rank(input_tensor), rank(input_tensor)). |
| keepdims | If true, retains reduced dimensions with length 1. |
| name | A name for the operation (optional). |
| Returns |
|---|
| The reduced tensor. |
Numpy Compatibility
Equivalent to np.mean
Please note that np.mean has a dtype parameter that could be used to specify the output type. By default this is dtype=float64. On the other hand, tf.reduce_mean has an aggressive type inference from input_tensor, for example:
x = tf.constant([1, 0, 1, 0])
tf.reduce_mean(x) # 0
y = tf.constant([1., 0., 1., 0.])
tf.reduce_mean(y) # 0.5
