paddle. std ( x, axis=None, unbiased=True, keepdim=False, name=None ) [source]

Computes the standard-deviation of x along axis .

Parameters

x (Tensor) – The input Tensor with data type float16, float32, float64.
axis (int|list|tuple, optional) – The axis along which to perform standard-deviation calculations. axis should be int, list(int) or tuple(int). If axis is a list/tuple of dimension(s), standard-deviation is calculated along all element(s) of axis . axis or element(s) of axis should be in range [-D, D), where D is the dimensions of x . If axis or element(s) of axis is less than 0, it works the same way as \(axis + D\) . If axis is None, standard-deviation is calculated over all elements of x. Default is None.
unbiased (bool, optional) – Whether to use the unbiased estimation. If unbiased is True, the standard-deviation is calculated via the unbiased estimator. If unbiased is True, the divisor used in the computation is \(N - 1\), where \(N\) represents the number of elements along axis , otherwise the divisor is \(N\). Default is True.
keepdim (bool, optional) – Whether to reserve the reduced dimension(s) in the output Tensor. If keepdim is True, the dimensions of the output Tensor is the same as x except in the reduced dimensions(it is of size 1 in this case). Otherwise, the shape of the output Tensor is squeezed in axis . Default is False.
name (str, optional) – Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to Name.

Returns

Tensor, results of standard-deviation along axis of x, with the same data type as x.

Examples

           >>> import paddle

>>> x = paddle.to_tensor([[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], [1.0, 4.0, 5.0]])
>>> out1 = paddle.std(x)
>>> print(out1.numpy())
1.6329932
>>> out2 = paddle.std(x, unbiased=False)
>>> print(out2.numpy())
1.490712
>>> out3 = paddle.std(x, axis=1)
>>> print(out3.numpy())
