atoti.array.std module

atoti.array.std(measure, /, *, mode='sample')

Return a measure equal to the standard deviation of the elements of the passed array measure.

Parameters

• measure (MeasureDescription) – The measure to get the standard deviation of.

• mode (Literal[‘sample’, ‘population’]) –

  One of the supported modes:

  • The sample standard deviation, similar to Excel’s STDEV.S, is $\sqrt{\frac{\sum _{i=1}^n(X_i-m{)}^2}{n-1}}$ where m is the sample mean and n the size of the sample. Use this mode if the data represents a sample of the population.

  • The population standard deviation, similar to Excel’s STDEV.P is $\sqrt{\frac{\sum _{i=1}^n(X_i-m{)}^2}{n}}$ where m is the mean of the Xi elements and n the size of the population. Use this mode if the data represents the entire population.
