tf.compat.v1.reduce_mean
Computes the mean of elements across dimensions of a tensor.
tf.compat.v1.reduce_mean(
    input_tensor, axis=None, keepdims=None, name=None, reduction_indices=None,
    keep_dims=None
)
  Reduces input_tensor along the dimensions given in axis by computing the mean of elements across the dimensions 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)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=float32, numpy=1.5>
tf.reduce_mean(x, 0)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=float32, numpy=array([1.5, 1.5], dtype=float32)>
tf.reduce_mean(x, 1)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=float32, numpy=array([1., 2.], dtype=float32)>
  | 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). | 
reduction_indices | 
      The old (deprecated) name for axis. | 
keep_dims | 
      Deprecated alias for keepdims. | 
     
| 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)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=0>
y = tf.constant([1., 0., 1., 0.])
tf.reduce_mean(y)
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=float32, numpy=0.5>
