Notes
This is the same as ndarray.var, except that where an ndarray would be returned, a matrix object is returned instead.
Examples
>>> x = np.matrix(np.arange(12).reshape((3, 4))) >>> x matrix([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11]]) >>> x.var() 11.916666666666666 >>> x.var(0) matrix([[ 10.66666667, 10.66666667, 10.66666667, 10.66666667]]) >>> x.var(1) matrix([[ 1.25], [ 1.25], [ 1.25]])
