+
+    The mean and standard-deviation are calculated separately over the last
+    certain number dimensions which have to be of the shape specified by
+    :attr:`normalized_shape`.
+    :math:`\gamma` and :math:`\beta` are learnable affine transform parameters of
+    :attr:`normalized_shape` if :attr:`elementwise_affine` is ``True``.
+
+    .. note::
+        Unlike Batch Normalization and Instance Normalization, which applies
+        scalar scale and bias for each entire channel/plane with the
+        :attr:`affine` option, Layer Normalization applies per-element scale and
+        bias with :attr:`elementwise_affine`.
+
+    This layer uses statistics computed from input data in both training and
+    evaluation modes.
+
+    Args:
+        normalized_shape (int or list or torch.Size): input shape from an expected input
+            of size

+
+            If a single integer is used, it is treated as a singleton list, and this module will
+            normalize over the last dimension which is expected to be of that specific size.
+        eps: a value added to the denominator for numerical stability. Default: 1e-5
+        elementwise_affine: a boolean value that when set to ``True``, this module
+            has learnable per-element affine parameters initialized to ones (for weights)
+            and zeros (for biases). Default: ``True``.
+
+    Shape:
+        - Input: :math:`(N, *)`
+        - Output: :math:`(N, *)` (same shape as input)
+
+    Examples::
+
+        >>> input = torch.randn(20, 5, 10, 10)
+        >>> # With Learnable Parameters
+        >>> m = apex.normalization.FusedRMSNorm(input.size()[1:])
+        >>> # Without Learnable Parameters
+        >>> m = apex.normalization.FusedRMSNorm(input.size()[1:], elementwise_affine=False)
