# init(featureChannelCount:mean:variance:beta:gamma:varianceEpsilon:)

Creates a batch normalization layer with the number of feature channels, tensors, and variance epsilon you specify.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init?(featureChannelCount: Int, mean: MLCTensor, variance: MLCTensor, beta: MLCTensor?, gamma: MLCTensor?, varianceEpsilon: Float)
```

## Parameters

- `featureChannelCount`: The number of feature channels.
- `mean`: The mean tensor.
- `variance`: The variance tensor.
- `beta`: The beta tensor.
- `gamma`: The gamma tensor.
- `varianceEpsilon`: The variance epsilon you use for numerical stability.
