ModelAverage
-------------------------------

**注意：该API仅支持【静态图】模式**

.. py:class:: paddle.fluid.optimizer.ModelAverage(average_window_rate, min_average_window=10000, max_average_window=10000, regularization=None, name=None)

ModelAverage优化器，在训练过程中累积特定连续的历史Parameters，累积的历史范围可以用传入的average_window参数来控制，在预测时使用平均后的Parameters，通常可以提高预测的精度。

在滑动窗口中累积Parameters的平均值，将结果将保存在临时变量中，通过调用 ``apply()`` 方法可应用于当前模型的Parameters，使用 ``restore()`` 方法恢复当前模型Parameters的值。

计算平均值的窗口大小由 ``average_window_rate`` ， ``min_average_window`` ， ``max_average_window`` 以及当前Parameters更新次数(num_updates)共同决定。

累积次数（num_accumulates）大于特定窗口阈值(average_window)时，将累积的Parameters临时变量置为0.0，这几个参数的作用通过以下示例代码说明：

.. code-block:: python

    if num_accumulates >= min_average_window and num_accumulates >= min(max_average_window, num_updates * average_window_rate):
        num_accumulates = 0

上述条件判断语句中，num_accumulates表示当前累积的次数，可以抽象理解为累积窗口的长度，窗口长度至少要达到min_average_window参数设定的长度，并且不能超过max_average_window参数或者num_updates * average_window_rate规定的长度，其中num_updates表示当前Parameters更新的次数，average_window_rate是一个计算窗口长度的系数。
 
参数：
  - **average_window_rate** (float) – 相对于Parameters更新次数的窗口长度计算比率
  - **min_average_window** (int, 可选) – 平均值计算窗口长度的最小值，默认值为10000
  - **max_average_window** (int, 可选) – 平均值计算窗口长度的最大值，推荐设置为一轮训练中mini-batchs的数目，默认值为10000
  - **regularization** (WeightDecayRegularizer, 可选) – 正则化函数，用于减少泛化误差。例如可以是 :ref:`cn_api_fluid_regularizer_L2DecayRegularizer` ，默认值为None
  - **name** (str, 可选)– 该参数供开发人员打印调试信息时使用，具体用法请参见 :ref:`api_guide_Name` ，默认值为None

.. py:method:: apply(executor, need_restore=True)

将累积Parameters的平均值应用于当前网络的Parameters。

参数：
    - **executor** (fluid.Executor) – 当前网络的执行器
    - **need_restore** (bool) – 恢复标志变量，设为True时，执行完成后会将网络的Parameters恢复为网络默认的值，设为False将不会恢复，默认值True

返回：无
