Parameters ---------- a : array_like Input array. axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional Axis or axes over which the sum is taken. By default `axis` is None, and all elements are summed. .. versionadded:: 0.11.0 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 original array. .. versionadded:: 0.15.0 b : array-like, optional Scaling factor for exp(`a`) must be of the same shape as `a` or broadcastable to `a`. These values may be negative in order to implement subtraction. .. versionadded:: 0.12.0 return_sign : bool, optional If this is set to True, the result will be a pair containing sign information; if False, results that are negative will be returned as NaN. Default is False (no sign information). .. versionadded:: 0.16.0 Returns ------- res : ndarray The result, ``np.log(np.sum(np.exp(a)))`` calculated in a numerically more stable way. If `b` is given then ``np.log(np.sum(b*np.exp(a)))`` is returned. sgn : ndarray If return_sign is True, this will be an array of floating-point numbers matching res and +1, 0, or -1 depending on the sign of the result. If False, only one result is returned. See Also -------- numpy.logaddexp, numpy.logaddexp2 Notes ----- NumPy has a logaddexp function which is very similar to `logsumexp`, but only handles two arguments. `logaddexp.reduce` is similar to this function, but may be less stable.
