scipy.stats.mstats.samplestd

scipy.stats.mstats.samplestd(data, axis=0)

Returns a biased estimate of the standard deviation of the data, as the square root of the average squared deviations from the mean.

Parameters :

data : sequence

Input data

axis : {0,int} optional

Axis along which to compute. If None, the computation is performed on a flat version of the array.

Notes

samplestd(a) is equivalent to a.std(ddof=0)
