tstd
(a, limits=None, inclusive=True, True, axis=0, ddof=1)[source]¶ Compute the trimmed sample standard deviation.
This function finds the sample standard deviation of given values, ignoring values outside the given limits.
- Parameters
- aarray_like
Array of values.
- limitsNone or (lower limit, upper limit), optional
Values in the input array less than the lower limit or greater than the upper limit will be ignored. When limits is None, then all values are used. Either of the limit values in the tuple can also be None representing a half-open interval. The default value is None.
- inclusive(bool, bool), optional
A tuple consisting of the (lower flag, upper flag). These flags determine whether values exactly equal to the lower or upper limits are included. The default value is (True, True).
- axisint or None, optional
Axis along which to operate. Default is 0. If None, compute over the whole array a.
- ddofint, optional
Delta degrees of freedom. Default is 1.
- Returns
- tstdfloat
Trimmed sample standard deviation.
Notes
tstd
computes the unbiased sample standard deviation, i.e. it uses a correction factorn / (n - 1)
