This update added new revisions after undoing existing revisions.
That is to say, some revisions that were in the old version of the
branch are not in the new version.  This situation occurs
when a user --force pushes a change and generates a repository
containing something like this:

 * -- * -- B -- O -- O -- O   (07d7a94)
            \
             N -- N -- N   refs/heads/numpy (47f4cd3)

You should already have received notification emails for all of the O
revisions, and so the following emails describe only the N revisions
from the common base, B.

Any revisions marked "omit" are not gone; other references still
refer to them.  Any revisions marked "discard" are gone forever.

The 42 revisions listed above as "new" are entirely new to this
repository and will be described in separate emails.  The revisions
listed as "add" were already present in the repository and have only
been added to this reference.

Posted by ha...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

haoj pushed a commit to branch numpy
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-mxnet.git

commit ae00c517cb27b97c08f3b2ed13372562c4a51c83
Author: Mike <ma...@connect.hku.hk>
AuthorDate: Wed Jul 3 17:16:32 2019 +0800

    [numpy][doc-fix] mean, transpose, stack, split, log2, rint and radians (#15370)
    
    * Doc fix for split, stack, transpose, mean, rint, radians, log2.
    
    * Minor syntax fix
    
    * Add some disable=line-too-long to pass pylint test
    
    * Add Notes following the guide of example PR by Mu Li
    
    * Minor syntax fix
    
    * Fix a non-ascii character
    
    * Fix issues mentioned in review by @reminisce
    
    * Register mean into npi namespace and wrap it to have same sigatrue as
    standard numpy
    
    * Add mean to __all__ list
    
    * Note the imcompatibility of broacasting to output
    
    * Specify out must have the same type
    
    * Minor syntax fix
    
    * Clearify the `out` in symbol is only a dummy variable
    
    Fix the mess due to pull rebase
    
    Correct the wrong return statement in multiarray
    
    Again, syntax fix
    
    Syntax fix one more time

+
+    Compute the arithmetic mean along the specified axis.
+    Returns the average of the array elements.
+    The average is taken over the flattened array by default, otherwise over the specified axis.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : ndarray
+        ndarray containing numbers whose mean is desired.
+    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
+        Axis or axes along which the means are computed. The default is to compute the mean of the flattened array.
+        If this is a tuple of ints, a mean is performed over multiple axes,
+        instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.
+    dtype : data-type, optional
+        Type to use in computing the mean. For integer inputs, the default is float32;
+        for floating point inputs, it is the same as the input dtype.
+    out : ndarray, optional
+        Alternate output array in which to place the result. The default is None; if provided,

+    keepdims : bool, optional
+        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result
+        as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly
+        against the input array.
+        If the default value is passed, then keepdims will not be passed through to the mean
+        method of sub-classes of ndarray, however any non-default value will be. If the sub-class
+        method does not implement keepdims any exceptions will be raised.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    m : ndarray, see dtype parameter above
+        If out=None, returns a new array containing the mean values,

+    This affects the behavior of modules in MXNet that uses random number generators,

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    seed : int
+        The random number seed.
+
+    ctx : Context
+        The device context of the generator. The default is "all" which means seeding random
+        number generators of all devices.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Random number generators in MXNet are device specific.
+    `mx.random.seed(seed_state)` sets the state of each generator using `seed_state` and the
+    device id. Therefore, random numbers generated from different devices can be different
+    even if they are seeded using the same seed.
+
+    To produce identical random number sequences independent of the device id,
+    set optional `ctx` argument. This produces the same sequence of random numbers independent
+    of the device id, but the sequence can be different on different kind of devices as MXNet's
+    random number generators for CPU and GPU use different algorithms.
+
+    Example
+    -------

+        Number of experiments.
+    pvals : sequence of floats, length p
+        Probabilities of each of the p different outcomes. These should sum to 1

+def tensordot(a, b, axes=2):
+    r"""
+    tensordot(a, b, axes=2)
+
+    Compute tensor dot product along specified axes for arrays >= 1-D.
+
+    Given two tensors (arrays of dimension greater than or equal to one),
+    `a` and `b`, and an ndarray object containing two ndarray
+    objects, ``(a_axes, b_axes)``, sum the products of `a`'s and `b`'s
+    elements (components) over the axes specified by ``a_axes`` and
+    ``b_axes``. The third argument can be a single non-negative
+    integer_like scalar, ``N``; if it is such, then the last ``N``
+    dimensions of `a` and the first ``N`` dimensions of `b` are summed
+    over.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a, b : ndarray, len(shape) >= 1
+        Tensors to "dot".
+
+    axes : int or (2,) ndarray
+        * integer_like
+        If an int N, sum over the last N axes of `a` and the first N axes
+        of `b` in order. The sizes of the corresponding axes must match.
+        * (2,) ndarray
+        Or, a list of axes to be summed over, first sequence applying to `a`,
+        second to `b`. Both elements ndarray must be of the same length.
+
+    See Also
+    --------
+    dot, einsum
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Three common use cases are:
+        * ``axes = 0`` : tensor product :math:`a\otimes b`
+        * ``axes = 1`` : tensor dot product :math:`a\cdot b`
+        * ``axes = 2`` : (default) tensor double contraction :math:`a:b`
+
+    When `axes` is integer_like, the sequence for evaluation will be: first
+    the -Nth axis in `a` and 0th axis in `b`, and the -1th axis in `a` and
+    Nth axis in `b` last.
+
+    When there is more than one axis to sum over - and they are not the last
+    (first) axes of `a` (`b`) - the argument `axes` should consist of
+    two sequences of the same length, with the first axis to sum over given
+    first in both sequences, the second axis second, and so forth.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> a = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
+    >>> b = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)

+    elements (components) over the axes specified by ``a_axes`` and
+    ``b_axes``. The third argument can be a single non-negative
+    integer_like scalar, ``N``; if it is such, then the last ``N``
+    dimensions of `a` and the first ``N`` dimensions of `b` are summed
+    over.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a, b : _Symbol
+        Tensors to "dot".
+
+    axes : int or (2,) ndarray
+        * integer_like
+        If an int N, sum over the last N axes of `a` and the first N axes
+        of `b` in order. The sizes of the corresponding axes must match.
+        * (2,) array_like
+        Or, a list of axes to be summed over, first sequence applying to `a`,
+        second to `b`. Both elements array_like must be of the same length.
+
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Three common use cases are:
+        * ``axes = 0`` : tensor product :math:`a\otimes b`
+        * ``axes = 1`` : tensor dot product :math:`a\cdot b`
+        * ``axes = 2`` : (default) tensor double contraction :math:`a:b`
+
+    When `axes` is integer_like, the sequence for evaluation will be: first
+    the -Nth axis in `a` and 0th axis in `b`, and the -1th axis in `a` and
+    Nth axis in `b` last.
+
+    When there is more than one axis to sum over - and they are not the last
+    (first) axes of `a` (`b`) - the argument `axes` should consist of
+    two sequences of the same length, with the first axis to sum over given
+    first in both sequences, the second axis second, and so forth.

+    For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity,
+    it yields ``nan`` and sets the `invalid` floating point error flag.

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    `arctan` is a multi-valued function: for each `x` there are infinitely
+    many numbers `z` such that tan(`z`) = `x`.  The convention is to return
+    the angle `z` whose real part lies in [-pi/2, pi/2].
+
+    For real-valued input data types, `arctan` always returns real output.
+    For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity,
+    it yields ``nan`` and sets the `invalid` floating point error flag.
+
+    For complex-valued input, we do not have support for them yet.
+
+    The inverse tangent is also known as `atan` or tan^{-1}.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    We expect the arctan of 0 to be 0, and of 1 to be pi/4:

     The multinomial distribution is a multivariate generalisation of the binomial distribution.
     Take an experiment with one of ``p`` possible outcomes. An example of such an experiment is throwing a dice,

+    'xy' indexing and (M, N, P) for 'ij' indexing.  The difference is
+    illustrated by the following code snippet::

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : ndarray
+        Input array
+    axis : int, optional
+        The axis along which to sort teh input tensor.
+        If not given, the last, dimension -1 will be used by default.

+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    output : ndarray
+        Array of indices that sort a along the specified axis.
+        If a is one-dimensional, a[index_array] yields a sorted a.
+        More generally, np.take_along_axis(a, index_array, axis=a) always yields the sorted a,

+    sum(a, axis=None, dtype=None, keepdims=_Null, initial=_Null, out=None)
+
+    Sum of array elements over a given axis.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : ndarray
+        Input data.
+    axis : None or int, optional
+        Axis or axes along which a sum is performed.  The default,
+        axis=None, will sum all of the elements of the input array.  If
+        axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis.
+    dtype : dtype, optional
+        The type of the returned array and of the accumulator in which the
+        elements are summed. The default type is float32.
+    keepdims : bool, optional
+        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
+        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
+        the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.
+
+        If the default value is passed, then `keepdims` will not be
+        passed through to the `sum` method of sub-classes of
+        `ndarray`, however any non-default value will be.  If the
+        sub-classes `sum` method does not implement `keepdims` any
+        exceptions will be raised.
+    initial: Currently only supports None as input, optional
+        Starting value for the sum.
+        Currently not implemented. Please use ``None`` as input or skip this argument.
+    out : ndarray or None, optional
+        Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have
+        the same shape and dtype as the expected output.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    sum_along_axis : ndarray
+        An ndarray with the same shape as `a`, with the specified
+        axis removed. If an output array is specified, a reference to
+        `out` is returned.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    - Input type does not support Python native iterables.
+    - "out" param: cannot perform auto type change. out ndarray's dtype must be the same as the expected output.
+    - "initial" param is not supported yet. Please use None as input.
+    - Arithmetic is modular when using integer types, and no error is raised on overflow.
+    - The sum of an empty array is the neutral element 0:
+
+    >>> a = np.empty(1)
+    >>> np.sum(a)
+    array(0.)
+
+    This function differs from the original `numpy.sum
+    <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.sum.html>`_ in
+    the following aspects:
+
+    - Input type does not support Python native iterables(list, tuple, ...).
+    - "out" param: cannot perform auto type cast. out ndarray's dtype must be the same as the expected output.
+    - "initial" param is not supported yet. Please use ``None`` as input or skip it.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> a = np.array([0.5, 1.5])
+    >>> np.sum(a)
+    array(2.)
+    >>> a = np.array([0.5, 0.7, 0.2, 1.5])
+    >>> np.sum(a, dtype=np.int32)
+    array(2, dtype=int32)
+    >>> a = np.array([[0, 1], [0, 5]])
+    >>> np.sum(a)
+    array(6.)
+    >>> np.sum(a, axis=0)
+    array([0., 6.])
+    >>> np.sum(a, axis=1)
+    array([1., 5.])
+
+    With output ndarray:
+
