pyriemann.utils.mean.mean_ale(covmats, tol=1e-06, maxiter=50, sample_weight=None)

AJD-based log-Euclidean (ALE) mean of SPD matrices.

Return the mean of a set of SPD matrices using the AJD-based log-Euclidean (ALE) mean [1].

Parameters

covmatsndarray, shape (n_matrices, n_channels, n_channels)

Set of SPD matrices.

tolfloat, default=10e-7

The tolerance to stop the gradient descent.

maxiterint, default=50

The maximum number of iterations.

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

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

Returns

Cndarray, shape (n_channels, n_channels)

ALE mean.

Notes
