tf.keras.metrics.MeanRelativeError

Computes the mean relative error by normalizing with the given values.

Inherits From: Mean, Metric, Layer, Module

tf.keras.metrics.MeanRelativeError(
    normalizer, name=None, dtype=None
)

This metric creates two local variables, total and count that are used to compute the mean relative error. This is weighted by sample_weight, and it is ultimately returned as mean_relative_error: an idempotent operation that simply divides total by count.

If sample_weight is None, weights default to 1. Use sample_weight of 0 to mask values.

normalizer The normalizer values with same shape as predictions.
name (Optional) string name of the metric instance.
dtype (Optional) data type of the metric result.

Standalone usage:

m = tf.keras.metrics.MeanRelativeError(normalizer=[1, 3, 2, 3])
m.update_state([1, 3, 2, 3], [2, 4, 6, 8])
 
# metric = mean(|y_pred - y_true| / normalizer)
#        = mean([1, 1, 4, 5] / [1, 3, 2, 3]) = mean([1, 1/3, 2, 5/3])
#        = 5/4 = 1.25
m.result().numpy()
1.25

Usage with compile() API:

model.compile(
  optimizer='sgd',
  loss='mse',
  metrics=[tf.keras.metrics.MeanRelativeError(normalizer=[1, 3])])

Methods

merge_state

View source

merge_state(
    metrics
)

Merges the state from one or more metrics.

This method can be used by distributed systems to merge the state computed by different metric instances. Typically the state will be stored in the form of the metric's weights. For example, a tf.keras.metrics.Mean metric contains a list of two weight values: a total and a count. If there were two instances of a tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy that each independently aggregated partial state for an overall accuracy calculation, these two metric's states could be combined as follows:

m1 = tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy()
_ = m1.update_state([[1], [2]], [[0], [2]])
 
m2 = tf.keras.metrics.Accuracy()
_ = m2.update_state([[3], [4]], [[3], [4]])
 
m2.merge_state([m1])
m2.result().numpy()
0.75

Args
metrics an iterable of metrics. The metrics must have compatible state.

Raises
ValueError If the provided iterable does not contain metrics matching the metric's required specifications.

reset_state

View source

reset_state()

Resets all of the metric state variables.

This function is called between epochs/steps, when a metric is evaluated during training.

result

View source

result()

Computes and returns the metric value tensor.

Result computation is an idempotent operation that simply calculates the metric value using the state variables.

update_state

View source

update_state(
    y_true, y_pred, sample_weight=None
)

Accumulates metric statistics.

Args
y_true The ground truth values.
y_pred The predicted values.
sample_weight Optional weighting of each example. Defaults to 1. Can be a Tensor whose rank is either 0, or the same rank as y_true, and must be broadcastable to y_true.

Returns
Update op.
