mean_absolute_error( labels, predictions, weights=None, metrics_collections=None, updates_collections=None, name=None )
Defined in tensorflow/python/ops/metrics_impl.py
.
Computes the mean absolute error between the labels and predictions.
The mean_absolute_error
function creates two local variables, total
and count
that are used to compute the mean absolute error. This average is weighted by weights
, and it is ultimately returned as mean_absolute_error
: an idempotent operation that simply divides total
by count
.
For estimation of the metric over a stream of data, the function creates an update_op
operation that updates these variables and returns the mean_absolute_error
. Internally, an absolute_errors
operation computes the absolute value of the differences between predictions
and labels
. Then update_op
increments total
with the reduced sum of the product of weights
and absolute_errors
, and it increments count
with the reduced sum of weights
If weights
is None
, weights default to 1. Use weights of 0 to mask values.
Args:
-
labels
: ATensor
of the same shape aspredictions
. -
predictions
: ATensor
of arbitrary shape. -
weights
: OptionalTensor
whose rank is either 0, or the same rank aslabels
, and must be broadcastable tolabels
(i.e., all dimensions must be either1
, or the same as the correspondinglabels
dimension). -
metrics_collections
: An optional list of collections thatmean_absolute_error
should be added to. -
updates_collections
: An optional list of collections thatupdate_op
should be added to. -
name
: An optional variable_scope name.
Returns:
-
mean_absolute_error
: ATensor
representing the current mean, the value oftotal
divided bycount
. -
update_op
: An operation that increments thetotal
andcount
variables appropriately and whose value matchesmean_absolute_error
.
Raises:
-
ValueError
: Ifpredictions
andlabels
have mismatched shapes, or ifweights
is notNone
and its shape doesn't matchpredictions
, or if eithermetrics_collections
orupdates_collections
are not a list or tuple.
