A preprocessing layer which normalizes continuous features.

layer_normalization(object, axis = -1L, mean = NULL, variance = NULL, ...)

## Arguments

object What to call the new Layer instance with. Typically a keras Model, another Layer, or a tf.Tensor/KerasTensor. If object is missing, the Layer instance is returned, otherwise, layer(object) is returned. Integer, list of integers, or NULL. The axis or axes that should have a separate mean and variance for each index in the shape. For example, if shape is (NULL, 5) and axis=1, the layer will track 5 separate mean and variance values for the last axis. If axis is set to NULL, the layer will normalize all elements in the input by a scalar mean and variance. Defaults to -1, where the last axis of the input is assumed to be a feature dimension and is normalized per index. Note that in the specific case of batched scalar inputs where the only axis is the batch axis, the default will normalize each index in the batch separately. In this case, consider passing axis = NULL. The mean value(s) to use during normalization. The passed value(s) will be broadcast to the shape of the kept axes above; if the value(s) cannot be broadcast, an error will be raised when this layer's build() method is called. The variance value(s) to use during normalization. The passed value(s) will be broadcast to the shape of the kept axes above; if the value(s) cannot be broadcast, an error will be raised when this layer's build() method is called. standard layer arguments.

## Details

This layer will shift and scale inputs into a distribution centered around 0 with standard deviation 1. It accomplishes this by precomputing the mean and variance of the data, and calling (input - mean) / sqrt(var) at runtime.

The mean and variance values for the layer must be either supplied on construction or learned via adapt(). adapt() will compute the mean and variance of the data and store them as the layer's weights. adapt() should be called before fit(), evaluate(), or predict().
