moments¶

dragon.vm.tensorflow.nn.moments(
  x,
  axes=None,
  keepdims=False,
  name=None
)[source]¶

Compute the mean and variance of input along the given axis.

\[\begin{cases} \mathrm{E}[x] = \frac{1}{n}\sum(x) \\ \mathrm{Var}[x] = \frac{1}{n}\sum(x - \mathrm{E}[x])^{2} \end{cases} \]

axes could be negative or None:

x = tf.constant([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

# A negative axis is the last-k axis
print(tf.nn.moments(x, 1))
print(tf.nn.moments(x, -1))  # Equivalent

# If axes is None, reduce as a vector and return scalars
print(tf.nn.moments(x))  # mean is 3.5, var is 2.916667

# Also, axes could be a sequence of integers
print(tf.nn.moments(x, [0, 1]))  # mean is 3.5, var is 2.916667

Parameters:

• x (dragon.Tensor) – The input tensor.
• axes (Union[int, Sequence[int]], optional) – The axis to reduce.
• keepdims (bool, optional, default=False) – Keep the reduced dimensions or not.
• name (str, optional) – The operation name.

Returns:

• dragon.Tensor – The mean tensor.
• dragon.Tensor – The variance tensor.
