A method of SO3TangentVector.

the mean of tangent vectors at one shared reference, weighted when weights are given

Syntax

m = mean(v)

Over all.

m = mean(v, axis=0)

Along the first axis.

m = mean(v, weights=w)

Weighted.

Description

Without weights the vectors that are not a number are left out; with weights they are not.

Input

v SO3TangentVector, every one at the same reference

Keywords

keyword default description
weights None one weight per vector, in the shape of v
axis None the axis or axes of the list to average along, all by default

Output

m SO3TangentVector at that reference
