pyriemann.utils.mean.mean_logeuclid(X, sample_weight=None)

Mean of SPD/HPD matrices according to the log-Euclidean metric.

Log-Euclidean mean is [1]:

\[\mathbf{M} = \exp{ \left( \sum_i w_i \ \log{\mathbf{X}_i} \right) }\]

Parameters:

Xndarray, shape (n_matrices, n, n)

Set of SPD/HPD matrices.

sample_weightNone | ndarray, shape (n_matrices,), default=None

Weights for each matrix. If None, it uses equal weights.

Returns:

Mndarray, shape (n, n)

Log-Euclidean mean.
