    An array object represents a multidimensional, homogeneous array of fixed-size items.
    An associated data-type object describes the format of each element in the array
    (its byte-order, how many bytes it occupies in memory, whether it is an integer, a
    floating point number, or something else, etc.). Arrays should be constructed using
    `array`, `zeros` or `empty`. Currently, only c-contiguous arrays are supported.

    Arrays should be constructed using `array`, `zeros` or `empty` (refer
    to the See Also section below).  The parameters given here refer to
    a low-level method (`ndarray(...)`) for instantiating an array.

    For more information, refer to the `mxnet.numpy` module and examine the
    methods and attributes of an array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    handle: int
        The ndarray handle in backend (C++).
    writable: bool
        Indicates whether inplace-assignment is allowed for the array.

    Attributes
    ----------
    T : ndarray
        Transpose of the array.
    dtype : dtype object
        Describes the format of the elements in the array.
    size : int
        Number of elements in the array.
    ndim : int
        The array's number of dimensions.
    shape : tuple of ints
        Shape of the array.

    See Also
    --------
    array : Construct an array.
    zeros : Create an array, each element of which is zero.
    empty : Create an array, but leave its allocated memory unchanged (i.e.,

        Returns a sliced view of this array if the elements fetched are contiguous in memory;
        otherwise, returns a newly created NDArray.
        This functions supports advanced indexing defined in the following reference with
        some restrictions. Boolean indexing is supported only for a single boolean ndarray
        as a key. Mixing boolean ndarray with other index types is not supported in ``advanced``
        indexing.

        For basic indexing, i.e., if ``key`` consists only of integers,
        ``slice``, ``Ellipsis`` (``...``) and ``None``, a mutable view is
        returned that shares memory with this array if the accessed portion is
        contiguous in memory.
        Otherwise, a newly created ``ndarray`` is returned.

        This functions supports advanced indexing as defined in `the NumPy
        advanced indexing documentation
        <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.indexing.html#advanced-indexing>`_.

        Parameters
        ----------
        key : int, slice, list, np.ndarray, mx.np.ndarray, or tuple of all previous types
            Indexing key.

        Examples
        --------
        The default is to give explicit indices for all axes:

        >>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2, 3)
        >>> x
        array([[0., 1., 2.],
               [3., 4., 5.]])
        >>> x[0, :2]
        array([0., 1.])
        >>> x[:, :-1]
        array([[0., 1.],
               [3., 4.]])

        If fewer indices are given, they are automatically supplemented by an
        appropriate number of ``slice(None)`` ("``:``") to the right. For
        instance, a single integer indexes along the first axis:

        >>> x[0]
        array([0., 1., 2.])
        >>> x[1:]
        array([[3., 4., 5.]])

        To omit a range of axes that should be kept as-is, an `Ellipsis`
        ("``...``") can be used:

        >>> x = np.arange(16).reshape(2, 2, 2, 2)
        >>> x[0, ..., 1]
        array([[1., 3.],
               [5., 7.]])
        >>> x[0, :, :, 1]  # equivalent
        array([[1., 3.],
               [5., 7.]])

        New axes of length 1 can be created by inserting ``None``
        (`numpy.newaxis`) in the index:

        >>> x = np.arange(6).reshape(2, 3)
        >>> x[None, :, :]
        array([[[0., 1., 2.],
                [3., 4., 5.]]])
        >>> x[None, :, :].shape
        (1, 2, 3)

        If the indexed portion of the array is contiguous in memory, no data
        is copied. Instead, a shared-memory view of the original array is
        returned, and changes to that view affect the original array:

        >>> x = np.arange(8).reshape(2, 2, 2)
        >>> y = x[0]  # contiguous
        >>> y
        array([[0., 1.],
               [2., 3.]])
        >>> y[:] = -1
        >>> x
        array([[[-1., -1.],
                [-1., -1.]],
               [[ 4.,  5.],
                [ 6.,  7.]]])
        >>> x = np.arange(8).reshape(2, 2, 2)
        >>> y = x[1, :1, :]  # contiguous
        >>> y
        array([[4., 5.]])
        >>> y[:] = -1
        >>> x
        array([[[ 0.,  1.],
                [ 2.,  3.]],
               [[-1., -1.],
                [ 6.,  7.]]])
        >>> x = np.arange(0, 8).reshape(2, 2, 2)
        >>> y = x[:, :, 1]  # not contiguous
        >>> y
        array([[1., 3.],
               [5., 7.]])
        >>> y[:] = -1
        >>> x
        array([[[0., 1.],
                [2., 3.]],
               [[4., 5.],
                [6., 7.]]])

        If the indexing key contains `list`, `numpy.ndarray` or `NDArray`
        objects, advanced indexing is triggered, which always returns a
        copy:

        >>> x = np.arange(8).reshape(2, 2, 2)
        >>> x[[0, 1]]
        array([[[0., 1.],
                [2., 3.]],
               [[4., 5.],
                [6., 7.]]])
        >>> x[[0, 1], :]  # equivalent
        array([[[0., 1.],
                [2., 3.]],
               [[4., 5.],
                [6., 7.]]])
        >>> y = np.array([0, 1], dtype='int32')
        >>> x[1:, y]
        array([[[4., 5.],
                [6., 7.]]])
        >>> y = np.array([0, 1], dtype='int32')
        >>> x[1:, y]
        array([[[4., 5.],
                [6., 7.]]])

        Get negative elements in an ndarray through boolean array indexing
        >>> x = np.array([1., -1., -2., 3])
        >>> x[x < 0]
        array([-1., -2.])

        dtype : str or dtype
            Typecode or data-type to which the array is cast.
        order : {'C', 'F', 'A', 'K'}, optional
            Controls the memory layout order of the result.
            'C' means C order, 'F' means Fortran order, 'A'
            means 'F' order if all the arrays are Fortran contiguous,
            'C' order otherwise, and 'K' means as close to the
            order the array elements appear in memory as possible.
            Default is 'K'.
        casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
            Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Defaults to 'unsafe'
            for backwards compatibility.

              * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
              * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
              * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
              * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
                like float64 to float32, are allowed.
              * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.

            If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through (default), otherwise
            the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array.
        copy : bool, optional
            Default `True`. By default, astype always returns a newly
            allocated ndarray on the same context. If this is set to
            `False`, and the dtype requested is the same as the ndarray's

    Return a new array with the same shape and type as a given array.

    Parameters
    ----------
    prototype : ndarray
        The shape and data-type of `prototype` define these same attributes
        of the returned array.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        Overrides the data type of the result.
    order : {'C'}, optional
        Whether to store multidimensional data in C- or Fortran-contiguous
        (row- or column-wise) order in memory. Currently only supports C order.
    subok : {False}, optional
        If True, then the newly created array will use the sub-class
        type of 'a', otherwise it will be a base-class array. Defaults
        to False.
        (Only support False at this moment)
    shape : int or sequence of ints, optional.
        Overrides the shape of the result. If order='K' and the number of
        dimensions is unchanged, will try to keep order, otherwise,
        order='C' is implied.
        (Not supported at this moment)

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        Array of uninitialized (arbitrary) data with the same
        shape and type as `prototype`.

    --------
    ones_like : Return an array of ones with shape and type of input.
    zeros_like : Return an array of zeros with shape and type of input.
    full_like : Return a new array with shape of input filled with value.
    empty : Return a new uninitialized array.

    Notes
    -----
    This function does *not* initialize the returned array; to do that use
    `zeros_like` or `ones_like` instead.  It may be marginally faster than
    the functions that do set the array values.

def take(a, indices, axis=None, mode='raise', out=None):
    r"""
    Take elements from an array along an axis.

    When axis is not None, this function does the same thing as "fancy"
    indexing (indexing arrays using arrays); however, it can be easier to use
    if you need elements along a given axis. A call such as
    ``np.take(arr, indices, axis=3)`` is equivalent to
    ``arr[:,:,:,indices,...]``.

    Explained without fancy indexing, this is equivalent to the following use
    of `ndindex`, which sets each of ``ii``, ``jj``, and ``kk`` to a tuple of
    indices::

        Ni, Nk = a.shape[:axis], a.shape[axis+1:]
        Nj = indices.shape
        for ii in ndindex(Ni):
            for jj in ndindex(Nj):
                for kk in ndindex(Nk):
                    out[ii + jj + kk] = a[ii + (indices[jj],) + kk]

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray
        The source array.
    indices : ndarray
        The indices of the values to extract. Also allow scalars for indices.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis over which to select values. By default, the flattened
        input array is used.
    out : ndarray, optional
        If provided, the result will be placed in this array. It should
        be of the appropriate shape and dtype.
    mode : {'clip', 'wrap'}, optional
        Specifies how out-of-bounds indices will behave.

        * 'clip' -- clip to the range (default)
        * 'wrap' -- wrap around

        'clip' mode means that all indices that are too large are replaced
        by the index that addresses the last element along that axis. Note
        that this disables indexing with negative numbers.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        The returned array has the same type as `a`.

    .. note::

       This function differs from the original `numpy.take
       <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.take.html>`_ in
       the following way(s):

       * Only ndarray or scalar ndarray is accepted as valid input.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8])
    >>> indices = np.array([0, 1, 4])
    >>> np.take(a, indices)
    array([4., 3., 6.])

    In this example for `a` is an ndarray, "fancy" indexing can be used.

    >>> a[indices]
    array([4., 3., 6.])

    If `indices` is not one dimensional, the output also has these dimensions.

    >>> np.take(a, np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]]))

           [5., 7.]])

def unique(ar, return_index=False, return_inverse=False, return_counts=False, axis=None):
    """
    Find the unique elements of an array.

    Returns the sorted unique elements of an array. There are three optional
    outputs in addition to the unique elements:

    * the indices of the input array that give the unique values
    * the indices of the unique array that reconstruct the input array
    * the number of times each unique value comes up in the input array

    Parameters
    ----------
    ar : ndarray
        Input array. Unless `axis` is specified, this will be flattened if it
        is not already 1-D.
    return_index : bool, optional
        If True, also return the indices of `ar` (along the specified axis,
        if provided, or in the flattened array) that result in the unique array.
    return_inverse : bool, optional
        If True, also return the indices of the unique array (for the specified
        axis, if provided) that can be used to reconstruct `ar`.
    return_counts : bool, optional
        If True, also return the number of times each unique item appears
        in `ar`.
    axis : int or None, optional
        The axis to operate on. If None, `ar` will be flattened. If an integer,
        the subarrays indexed by the given axis will be flattened and treated
        as the elements of a 1-D array with the dimension of the given axis,
        see the notes for more details. The default is None.

    Returns
    -------
    unique : ndarray
        The sorted unique values.
    unique_indices : ndarray, optional
        The indices of the first occurrences of the unique values in the
        original array. Only provided if `return_index` is True.
    unique_inverse : ndarray, optional
        The indices to reconstruct the original array from the
        unique array. Only provided if `return_inverse` is True.
    unique_counts : ndarray, optional
        The number of times each of the unique values comes up in the
        original array. Only provided if `return_counts` is True.

    .. note::

       When an axis is specified the subarrays indexed by the axis are sorted.
       This is done by making the specified axis the first dimension of the array
       and then flattening the subarrays in C order. The flattened subarrays are
       then viewed as a structured type with each element given a label, with the
       effect that we end up with a 1-D array of structured types that can be
       treated in the same way as any other 1-D array. The result is that the
       flattened subarrays are sorted in lexicographic order starting with the
       first element.

       This function differs from the original `numpy.unique
       <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.unique.html>`_ in

       * Only support ndarray as input.

    >>> np.unique(a)
    array([1., 2., 3.])

    Return the unique rows of a 2D array

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [2, 3, 4]])
    >>> np.unique(a, axis=0)
    array([[1., 0., 0.],
           [2., 3., 4.]])

    Return the indices of the original array that give the unique values:

    >>> u, indices = np.unique(a, return_index=True)

    .. note::

       The behavior depends on the arguments in the following way.

       * If both arguments are ``2-D`` they are multiplied like conventional matrices.
       * If either argument is ``N-D``, ``N > 2``, it is treated as a stack of matrices
         residing in the last two indexes and broadcast accordingly.
       * If the first argument is ``1-D``, it is promoted to a matrix by prepending
         a 1 to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication the prepended 1 is removed.
       * If the second argument is ``1-D``, it is promoted to a matrix by appending a 1
         to its dimensions. After matrix multiplication the appended 1 is removed.

       matmul differs from dot in two important ways:

       * Multiplication by scalars is not allowed, use multiply instead.
       * Stacks of matrices are broadcast together as if the matrices were elements,
         respecting the signature ``(n,k),(k,m)->(n,m)``:

       >>> a = np.ones([9, 5, 7, 4])
       >>> c = np.ones([9, 5, 4, 3])
       >>> np.dot(a, c).shape
       (9, 5, 7, 9, 5, 3)
       >>> np.matmul(a, c).shape
       (9, 5, 7, 3)
       >>> # n is 7, k is 4, m is 3

    Examples
    --------
    For 2-D arrays it is the matrix product:

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 0],
    ...               [0, 1]])
    >>> b = np.array([[4, 1],
    ...               [2, 2]])
    >>> np.matmul(a, b)
    array([[4., 1.],
           [2., 2.]])

    For 2-D mixed with 1-D, the result is the usual.

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 0],
    ...               [0, 1]])
    >>> b = np.array([1, 2])
    >>> np.matmul(a, b)
    array([1., 2.])
    >>> np.matmul(b, a)
    array([1., 2.])

    Broadcasting is conventional for stacks of arrays

    >>> a = np.arange(2 * 2 * 4).reshape((2, 2, 4))
    >>> b = np.arange(2 * 2 * 4).reshape((2, 4, 2))
    >>> np.matmul(a, b).shape
    (2, 2, 2)
    >>> np.matmul(a, b)[0, 1, 1]
    array(98.)
    >>> sum(a[0, 1, :] * b[0, :, 1])
    array(98.)

    Scalar multiplication raises an error.

def tensordot(a, b, axes=2):
    r"""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

    .. note::

       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.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : real number
        The starting value of the sequence.

    Parameters
    ----------
    start : number, optional
        Start of interval. The interval includes this value.  The default
        start value is 0.
    stop : number
        End of interval. The interval does not include this value, except

        between two adjacent values, ``out[i+1] - out[i]``.  The default
        step size is 1.  If `step` is specified as a position argument,

    dtype : dtype

        * When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns False, default dtype is float32;

    -------
    arange : ndarray
        Array of evenly spaced values.

        For floating point arguments, the length of the result is

    """clip(a, a_min, a_max, out=None)

    Clip (limit) the values in an array.
    Given an interval, values outside the interval are clipped to
    the interval edges.  For example, if an interval of ``[0, 1]``
    is specified, values smaller than 0 become 0, and values larger
    than 1 become 1.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray
        Array containing elements to clip.

    --------
    a : ndarray

    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which to average a.
        The default, axis=None, will average over

        If axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis.
        New in version 1.7.0.
        If axis is a tuple of ints, averaging is
        performed on all of the axes specified in the tuple

    weights : ndarray, optional
        An array of weights associated with the values in a, must be the same dtype with a.
        Each value in a contributes to the average according to its associated weight.
        The weights array can either be 1-D (in which case its length must be
        the size of a along the given axis) or of the same shape as a.
        If weights=None, then all data in a are assumed to have a weight equal to one.

        The only constraint on weights is that sum(weights) must not be 0.
    returned : bool, optional

        If True, the tuple (average, sum_of_weights) is returned,
        otherwise only the average is returned.
        If weights=None, sum_of_weights is equivalent to
        the number of elements over which the average is taken.
    out : ndarray, optional
        If provided, the calculation is done into this array.

    Returns
    --------
    retval, [sum_of_weights] : ndarray
        Return the average along the specified axis.
        When returned is True, return a tuple with the average as the first element
        and the sum of the weights as the second element. sum_of_weights is of the same type as retval.
        If a is integral, the result dtype will be current default dtype,
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns False, default dtype is float32,
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns True, default dtype is float64;
        otherwise it will be the same as dtype of a.

    Raises
    --------
        MXNetError
        * When all weights along axis sum to zero.
        * When the length of 1D weights is not the same as the shape of a along axis.

    Compute the variance along the specified axis.
    Returns the variance of the array elements, a measure of the spread of a
    distribution.  The variance is computed for the flattened array by
    default, otherwise over the specified axis.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array containing numbers whose variance is desired.  If `a` is not an
        array, a conversion is attempted.
    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which the variance is computed.  The default is to
        compute the variance of the flattened array.
        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0
        If this is a tuple of ints, a variance 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 variance.
        For arrays of integer type, the default is of your current default dtype,
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns False, default dtype is float32,
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns True, default dtype is float64.
        For arrays of float types it is the same as the array type.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternate output array in which to place the result.  It must have
        the same shape as the expected output, but the type is cast if
        necessary.
    ddof : int, optional
        "Delta Degrees of Freedom": the divisor used in the calculation is
        ``N - ddof``, where ``N`` represents the number of elements. By
        default `ddof` is zero.
    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 `var` 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
    -------
    variance : ndarray, see dtype parameter above
        If ``out=None``, returns a new array containing the variance;
        otherwise, a reference to the output array is returned.

    Compute an array where the subarrays contain index values 0,1,...

    Parameters
    ----------
    dimensions : sequence of ints
        The shape of the grid.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        The desired data-type for the array. Default is `int64`.
    ctx : device context, optional
        Device context on which the memory is allocated. Default is
        `mxnet.context.current_context()`.

    Returns
    -------
    grid : ndarray
        The array of grid indices,
        ``grid.shape = (len(dimensions),) + tuple(dimensions)``.

    Notes

    The output shape is obtained by prepending the number of dimensions

    ``(r0, ..., rN-1)`` of length ``N``, the output shape is
    ``(N,r0,...,rN-1)``.

    The subarrays ``grid[k]`` contains the N-D array of indices along the
    ``k-th`` axis. Explicitly::

        grid[k,i0,i1,...,iN-1] = ik

    The Hanning was named for Julius von Hann, an Austrian meteorologist.
    It is also known as the Cosine Bell. Some authors prefer that it be
    called a Hann window, to help avoid confusion with the very similar
    Hamming window.

    Most references to the Hanning window come from the signal processing
    literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for
    smoothing values.  It is also known as an apodization (which means
    "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning
    and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function.

def blackman(M, dtype=None, ctx=None):
    r"""Return the Blackman window.

    The Blackman window is a taper formed by using the first three
    terms of a summation of cosines. It was designed to have close to the
    minimal leakage possible.  It is close to optimal, only slightly worse
    than a Kaiser window.

    Parameters
    ----------
    M : int
        Number of points in the output window. If zero or less, an
        empty array is returned.
    ctx : Context, optional
        An optional device context (default is the current default context).

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        The window, with the maximum value normalized to one (the value one
        appears only if the number of samples is odd).
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns False, default dtype is float32;
        When npx.is_np_default_dtype() returns True, default dtype is float64.
        Note that you need select numpy.float32 or float64 in this operator.

    Notes
    -----
    The Blackman window is defined as

    .. math::  w(n) = 0.42 - 0.5 \cos(2\pi n/{M-1}) + 0.08 \cos(4\pi n/{M-1})

    Most references to the Blackman window come from the signal processing
    literature, where it is used as one of many windowing functions for
    smoothing values.  It is also known as an apodization (which means
    "removing the foot", i.e. smoothing discontinuities at the beginning
    and end of the sampled signal) or tapering function. It is known as a
    "near optimal" tapering function, almost as good (by some measures)
    as the kaiser window.

    flip(m, axis=None, out=None)

    Reverse the order of elements in an array along the given axis.

    The shape of the array is preserved, but the elements are reordered.

    Parameters
    ----------
    m : ndarray or scalar
        Input array.
    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which to flip over. The default,
        axis=None, will flip over all of the axes of the input array.
        If axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis.

        If axis is a tuple of ints, flipping is performed on all of the axes
        specified in the tuple.
    out : ndarray or scalar, optional
        Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have
        the same shape and type as the expected output.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray or scalar
        A view of `m` with the entries of axis reversed.  Since a view is
        returned, this operation is done in constant time.

    around(x, decimals=0, out=None)

    Evenly round to the given number of decimals.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : ndarray or scalar
        Input data.
    decimals : int, optional
        Number of decimal places to round to (default: 0).  If
        decimals is negative, it specifies the number of positions to
        the left of the decimal point.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have
        the same shape and type as the expected output.

    Returns
    -------
    rounded_array : ndarray or scalar
        An array of the same type as `x`, containing the rounded values.
        A reference to the result is returned.

    .. note::
       For values exactly halfway between rounded decimal values, NumPy
       rounds to the nearest even value. Thus 1.5 and 2.5 round to 2.0,
       -0.5 and 0.5 round to 0.0, etc.

       This function differs from the original numpy.prod in the following aspects:

       * Cannot cast type automatically. Dtype of `out` must be same as the expected one.
       * Cannot support complex-valued number.

def arctan2(x1, x2, out=None, **kwargs):
    r"""
    Element-wise arc tangent of ``x1/x2`` choosing the quadrant correctly.

    The quadrant (i.e., branch) is chosen so that ``arctan2(x1, x2)`` is
    the signed angle in radians between the ray ending at the origin and
    passing through the point (1,0), and the ray ending at the origin and
    passing through the point (`x2`, `x1`).  (Note the role reversal: the
    "`y`-coordinate" is the first function parameter, the "`x`-coordinate"
    is the second.)  By IEEE convention, this function is defined for
    `x2` = +/-0 and for either or both of `x1` and `x2` = +/-inf (see
    Notes for specific values).

    This function is not defined for complex-valued arguments; for the
    so-called argument of complex values, use `angle`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x1 : ndarray or scalar
        `y`-coordinates.
    x2 : ndarray or scalar
        `x`-coordinates. `x2` must be broadcastable to match the shape of
        `x1` or vice versa.
    out : ndarray or None, optional
        A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have
        a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or `None`,
        a freshly-allocated array is returned.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray or scalar
        Array of angles in radians, in the range ``[-pi, pi]``. This is a scalar if
        `x1` and `x2` are scalars.

    .. notes::
       *arctan2* is identical to the ``atan2`` function of the underlying
       C library.  The following special values are defined in the C
       standard: [1]_

       +========+========+==================+
       | `x1`   | `x2`   | `arctan2(x1,x2)` |
       +========+========+==================+
       | +/- 0  | +0     | +/- 0            |
       +========+========+==================+
       | +/- 0  | -0     | +/- pi           |
       +========+========+==================+
       | > 0    | +/-inf | +0 / +pi         |

       | +/-inf | +inf   | +/- (pi/4)       |
       +========+========+==================+
       | +/-inf | -inf   | +/- (3*pi/4)     |
       +========+========+==================+

       Note that +0 and -0 are distinct floating point numbers, as are +inf
       and -inf.

       This function differs from the original numpy.arange in the following aspects:

       * Only support float16, float32 and float64.

def cross(a, b, axisa=-1, axisb=-1, axisc=-1, axis=None): # pylint: disable=too-many-arguments
    """
    Return the cross product of two (arrays of) vectors.

    The cross product of `a` and `b` in :math:`R^3` is a vector perpendicular
    to both `a` and `b`.  If `a` and `b` are arrays of vectors, the vectors
    are defined by the last axis of `a` and `b` by default, and these axes
    can have dimensions 2 or 3.  Where the dimension of either `a` or `b` is
    2, the third component of the input vector is assumed to be zero and the
    cross product calculated accordingly.  In cases where both input vectors
    have dimension 2, the z-component of the cross product is returned.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray
        Components of the first vector(s).
    b : ndarray
        Components of the second vector(s).
    axisa : int, optional
        Axis of `a` that defines the vector(s).  By default, the last axis.
    axisb : int, optional
        Axis of `b` that defines the vector(s).  By default, the last axis.
    axisc : int, optional
        Axis of `c` containing the cross product vector(s).  Ignored if
        both input vectors have dimension 2, as the return is scalar.
        By default, the last axis.
    axis : int, optional
        If defined, the axis of `a`, `b` and `c` that defines the vector(s)
        and cross product(s).  Overrides `axisa`, `axisb` and `axisc`.

    Returns
    -------
    c : ndarray
        Vector cross product(s).

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        When the dimension of the vector(s) in `a` and/or `b` does not
        equal 2 or 3.

    >>> x = np.array([1., 2.])
    >>> y = np.array([4., 5.])
    >>> np.cross(x, y)
    array(-3.)

    Multiple vector cross-products. Note that the direction of the cross
    product vector is defined by the `right-hand rule`.

    >>> x = np.array([[1., 2., 3.], [4., 5., 6.]])

    .. note::
       The function assumes that the number of dimensions of `a` and `b`

def einsum(*operands, **kwargs):
    r"""
    einsum(subscripts, *operands, out=None, optimize=False)

    Evaluates the Einstein summation convention on the operands.

    Using the Einstein summation convention, many common multi-dimensional,
    linear algebraic array operations can be represented in a simple fashion.
    In *implicit* mode `einsum` computes these values.

    In *explicit* mode, `einsum` provides further flexibility to compute
    other array operations that might not be considered classical Einstein
    summation operations, by disabling, or forcing summation over specified
    subscript labels.

    See the notes and examples for clarification.

    Parameters
    ----------
    subscripts : str
        Specifies the subscripts for summation as comma separated list of
        subscript labels. An implicit (classical Einstein summation)
        calculation is performed unless the explicit indicator '->' is
        included as well as subscript labels of the precise output form.
    operands : list of ndarray
        These are the arrays for the operation.
    out : ndarray, optional
        If provided, the calculation is done into this array.
    optimize : {False, True}, optional
        Controls if intermediate optimization should occur. No optimization
        will occur if False. Defaults to False.

    Returns
    -------
    output : ndarray
        The calculation based on the Einstein summation convention.

    Notes
    -----
    The Einstein summation convention can be used to compute
    many multi-dimensional, linear algebraic array operations. `einsum`
    provides a succinct way of representing these.

    A non-exhaustive list of these operations,
    which can be computed by `einsum`, is shown below along with examples:

    * Trace of an array, :py:func:`np.trace`.
    * Return a diagonal, :py:func:`np.diag`.
    * Array axis summations, :py:func:`np.sum`.
    * Transpositions and permutations, :py:func:`np.transpose`.
    * Matrix multiplication and dot product, :py:func:`np.matmul` :py:func:`np.dot`.
    * Vector inner and outer products, :py:func:`np.inner` :py:func:`np.outer`.
    * Broadcasting, element-wise and scalar multiplication, :py:func:`np.multiply`.
    * Tensor contractions, :py:func:`np.tensordot`.

    The subscripts string is a comma-separated list of subscript labels,
    where each label refers to a dimension of the corresponding operand.
    Whenever a label is repeated it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
    is equivalent to :py:func:`np.inner(a,b) <np.inner>`. If a label
    appears only once, it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a
    view of ``a`` with no changes. A further example ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)``
    describes traditional matrix multiplication and is equivalent to
    :py:func:`np.matmul(a,b) <np.matmul>`. Repeated subscript labels in one
    operand take the diagonal. For example, ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent
    to :py:func:`np.trace(a) <np.trace>`.

    In *implicit mode*, the chosen subscripts are important
    since the axes of the output are reordered alphabetically.  This
    means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
    ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose. Additionally,
    ``np.einsum('ij,jk', a, b)`` returns a matrix multiplication, while,
    ``np.einsum('ij,jh', a, b)`` returns the transpose of the
    multiplication since subscript 'h' precedes subscript 'i'.

    In *explicit mode* the output can be directly controlled by
    specifying output subscript labels.  This requires the
    identifier '->' as well as the list of output subscript labels.
    This feature increases the flexibility of the function since
    summing can be disabled or forced when required. The call
    ``np.einsum('i->', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.sum(a, axis=-1) <np.sum>`,
    and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)`` is like :py:func:`np.diag(a) <np.diag>`.
    The difference is that `einsum` does not allow broadcasting by default.
    Additionally ``np.einsum('ij,jh->ih', a, b)`` directly specifies the
    order of the output subscript labels and therefore returns matrix
    multiplication, unlike the example above in implicit mode.

    To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis.  Default
    NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
    to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
    To take the trace along the first and last axes,
    you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
    product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, one can do
    ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.

    When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
    parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
    of a new array.  Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
    produces a view.

    The ``optimize`` argument which will optimize the contraction order
    of an einsum expression. For a contraction with three or more operands this
    can greatly increase the computational efficiency at the cost of a larger
    memory footprint during computation.

    Typically a 'greedy' algorithm is applied which empirical tests have shown
    returns the optimal path in the majority of cases. 'optimal' is not supported
    for now.

    .. note::
       This function differs from the original `numpy.einsum
       <https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.einsum.html>`_ in
       the following way(s):

       * Does not support 'optimal' strategy
       * Does not support the alternative subscript like
           `einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])`
       * Does not produce view in any cases

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.arange(25).reshape(5,5)
    >>> b = np.arange(5)
    >>> c = np.arange(6).reshape(2,3)

    Trace of a matrix:

    >>> np.einsum('ii', a)
    array(60.)

    Extract the diagonal (requires explicit form):

    >>> np.einsum('ii->i', a)
    array([ 0.,  6., 12., 18., 24.])

    Sum over an axis (requires explicit form):

    >>> np.einsum('ij->i', a)
    array([ 10.,  35.,  60.,  85., 110.])
    >>> np.sum(a, axis=1)
    array([ 10.,  35.,  60.,  85., 110.])

    For higher dimensional arrays summing a single axis can be done with ellipsis:

    >>> np.einsum('...j->...', a)
    array([ 10.,  35.,  60.,  85., 110.])

    Compute a matrix transpose, or reorder any number of axes:

    >>> np.einsum('ji', c)
    array([[0., 3.],
           [1., 4.],
           [2., 5.]])
    >>> np.einsum('ij->ji', c)
    array([[0., 3.],
           [1., 4.],
           [2., 5.]])
    >>> np.transpose(c)
    array([[0., 3.],
           [1., 4.],
           [2., 5.]])

    Vector inner products:

    >>> np.einsum('i,i', b, b)
    array(30.)

    Matrix vector multiplication:

    >>> np.einsum('ij,j', a, b)
    array([ 30.,  80., 130., 180., 230.])
    >>> np.dot(a, b)
    array([ 30.,  80., 130., 180., 230.])
    >>> np.einsum('...j,j', a, b)
    array([ 30.,  80., 130., 180., 230.])

    Broadcasting and scalar multiplication:

    >>> np.einsum('..., ...', np.array(3), c)
    array([[ 0.,  3.,  6.],
           [ 9., 12., 15.]])
    >>> np.einsum(',ij', np.array(3), c)
    array([[ 0.,  3.,  6.],
           [ 9., 12., 15.]])
    >>> np.multiply(3, c)
    array([[ 0.,  3.,  6.],
           [ 9., 12., 15.]])

    Vector outer product:

    >>> np.einsum('i,j', np.arange(2)+1, b)
    array([[0., 1., 2., 3., 4.],
           [0., 2., 4., 6., 8.]])

    Tensor contraction:

    >>> a = np.arange(60.).reshape(3,4,5)
    >>> b = np.arange(24.).reshape(4,3,2)
    >>> np.einsum('ijk,jil->kl', a, b)
    array([[4400., 4730.],
           [4532., 4874.],
           [4664., 5018.],
           [4796., 5162.],
           [4928., 5306.]])

    Example of ellipsis use:

    >>> a = np.arange(6).reshape((3,2))
    >>> b = np.arange(12).reshape((4,3))
    >>> np.einsum('ki,jk->ij', a, b)
    array([[10., 28., 46., 64.],
           [13., 40., 67., 94.]])
    >>> np.einsum('ki,...k->i...', a, b)
    array([[10., 28., 46., 64.],
           [13., 40., 67., 94.]])
    >>> np.einsum('k...,jk', a, b)
    array([[10., 28., 46., 64.],
           [13., 40., 67., 94.]])

    Chained array operations. For more complicated contractions, speed ups
    might be achieved by repeatedly computing a 'greedy' path. Performance
    improvements can be particularly significant with larger arrays:

    >>> a = np.ones(64).reshape(2,4,8)
    # Basic `einsum`: ~42.22ms  (benchmarked on 3.4GHz Intel Xeon.)
    >>> for iteration in range(500):

def nonzero(a):
    """
    Return the indices of the elements that are non-zero.

    Returns a tuple of arrays, one for each dimension of `a`,
    containing the indices of the non-zero elements in that
    dimension. The values in `a` are always returned in
    row-major, C-style order.

    To group the indices by element, rather than dimension, use `argwhere`,
    which returns a row for each non-zero element.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray
        Input array.

    Returns
    -------
    tuple_of_arrays : tuple
        Indices of elements that are non-zero.

    See Also
    --------
    ndarray.nonzero :
        Equivalent ndarray method.

    Notes
    -----
    While the nonzero values can be obtained with ``a[nonzero(a)]``, it is
    recommended to use ``x[x.astype(bool)]`` or ``x[x != 0]`` instead, which
    will correctly handle 0-d arrays.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> x = np.array([[3, 0, 0], [0, 4, 0], [5, 6, 0]])
    >>> x
    array([[3, 0, 0],
           [0, 4, 0],
           [5, 6, 0]], dtype=int32)
    >>> np.nonzero(x)
    (array([0, 1, 2, 2], dtype=int64), array([0, 1, 0, 1], dtype=int64))

    >>> x[np.nonzero(x)]
    array([3, 4, 5, 6])
    >>> np.transpose(np.stack(np.nonzero(x)))
    array([[0, 0],
           [1, 1],
           [2, 0],
           [2, 1]], dtype=int64)

    A common use for ``nonzero`` is to find the indices of an array, where
    a condition is True.  Given an array `a`, the condition `a` > 3 is a
    boolean array and since False is interpreted as 0, np.nonzero(a > 3)
    yields the indices of the `a` where the condition is true.

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]], dtype=np.int32)
    >>> a > 3
    array([[False, False, False],
           [ True,  True,  True],
           [ True,  True,  True]])
    >>> np.nonzero(a > 3)
    (array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2], dtype=int64), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], dtype=int64))

    Using this result to index `a` is equivalent to using the mask directly:

    >>> a[np.nonzero(a > 3)]
    array([4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], dtype=int32)
    >>> a[a > 3]
    array([4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], dtype=int32)

    ``nonzero`` can also be called as a method of the array.

    >>> (a > 3).nonzero()
    (array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2], dtype=int64), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], dtype=int64))

    locations with indices ``a[i, ..., i]`` all identical. This function
    modifies the input array in-place, it does not return a value.
    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array, at least 2-D.
      Array whose diagonal is to be filled, it gets modified in-place.
    val : scalar
      Value to be written on the diagonal, its type must be compatible with
      that of the array a.
    wrap : bool
      For tall matrices in NumPy version up to 1.6.2, the
      diagonal "wrapped" after N columns. You can have this behavior
      with this option. This affects only tall matrices.

    Examples

    >>> np.fill_diagonal(a, 5)
    >>> a
    array([[5, 0, 0],
           [0, 5, 0],

    The same function can operate on a 4-D array:
    >>> a = np.zeros((3, 3, 3, 3), int)
    >>> np.fill_diagonal(a, 4)
    We only show a few blocks for clarity:
    >>> a[0, 0]
    array([[4, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 0]])

    >>> a
    array([[4, 0, 0],

           [0, 4, 0, 0, 0],
           [0, 0, 4, 0, 0]])
    The anti-diagonal can be filled by reversing the order of elements
    using either `numpy.flipud` or `numpy.fliplr`.

    Replace NaN with zero and infinity with large finite numbers (default
    behaviour) or with the numbers defined by the user using the `nan`,
    `posinf` and/or `neginf` keywords.

    If `x` is inexact, NaN is replaced by zero or by the user defined value in
    `nan` keyword, infinity is replaced by the largest finite floating point
    values representable by ``x.dtype`` or by the user defined value in
    `posinf` keyword and -infinity is replaced by the most negative finite
    floating point values representable by ``x.dtype`` or by the user defined
    value in `neginf` keyword.

    For complex dtypes, the above is applied to each of the real and
    imaginary components of `x` separately.

    If `x` is not inexact, then no replacements are made.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : scalar
        ndarray
        Input data.
    copy : bool, optional
        Whether to create a copy of `x` (True) or to replace values
        in-place (False). The in-place operation only occurs if
        casting to an array does not require a copy.
        Default is True.
        Gluon does not support copy = False.
    nan : int, float, optional
        Value to be used to fill NaN values. If no value is passed
        then NaN values will be replaced with 0.0.
    posinf : int, float, optional
        Value to be used to fill positive infinity values. If no value is
        passed then positive infinity values will be replaced with a very
        large number.
    neginf : int, float, optional
        Value to be used to fill negative infinity values. If no value is
        passed then negative infinity values will be replaced with a very
        small (or negative) number.

        .. versionadded:: 1.13

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        `x`, with the non-finite values replaced. If `copy` is False, this may
        be `x` itself.

    Notes
    -----
    NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic
    (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity.

        ``np.asarray(condition).nonzero()``. The rest of this documentation
        covers only the case where all three arguments are provided.

    Parameters
    ----------
    condition : ndarray
        Where True, yield `x`, otherwise yield `y`.
    x, y : ndarray
        Values from which to choose. `x`, `y` and `condition` need to be
        broadcastable to some shape. `x` and `y` must have the same dtype.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray
        An array with elements from `x` where `condition` is True, and elements
        from `y` elsewhere.

    Notes
    -----
    If all the arrays are 1-D, `where` is equivalent to::

    array([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4., 50., 60., 70., 80., 90.])

    This can be used on multidimensional arrays too:

    Returns
    -------
    product_along_axis : ndarray, see `dtype` parameter above.
        An array shaped as `a` but with the specified axis removed.
        Returns a reference to `out` if specified.

    Examples
    --------
    By default, calculate the product of all elements:
    >>> np.prod([1.,2.])
    2.0
    Even when the input array is two-dimensional:
    >>> np.prod([[1.,2.],[3.,4.]])
    24.0
    But we can also specify the axis over which to multiply:
    >>> np.prod([[1.,2.],[3.,4.]], axis=1)
    array([  2.,  12.])
    Or select specific elements to include:
    >>> np.prod([1., np.nan, 3.], where=[True, False, True])
    3.0
    If the type of `x` is unsigned, then the output type is
    the unsigned platform integer:
    >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.uint8)
    >>> np.prod(x).dtype == np.uint
    True
    If `x` is of a signed integer type, then the output type
    is the default platform integer:
    >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.int8)
    >>> np.prod(x).dtype == int
    True
    You can also start the product with a value other than one:
    >>> np.prod([1, 2], initial=5)

    Dot product of two arrays. Specifically,

    dtype : dtype, optional
        Type of the returned array and of the accumulator in which the
        elements are summed.  If `dtype` is not specified, it defaults
        to the dtype of `a`, unless `a` has an integer dtype with a

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : ndarray
        Array to be reshaped.

    newshape : int or tuple of ints
        The new shape should be compatible with the original shape. If
        an integer, then the result will be a 1-D array of that length.
        One shape dimension can be -1. In this case, the value is

    order : {'C'}, optional
        Read the elements of `a` using this index order, and place the
        elements into the reshaped array using this index order.  'C'
        means to read / write the elements using C-like index order,
