DataFrame.std(axis=None, skipna=None, level=None, ddof=1, numeric_only=None, **kwargs)
[source]-
Return sample standard deviation over requested axis.
Normalized by N-1 by default. This can be changed using the ddof argument
Parameters: -
axis : {index (0), columns (1)}
-
skipna : boolean, default True
-
Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA
-
level : int or level name, default None
-
If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a Series
-
ddof : int, default 1
-
Delta Degrees of Freedom. The divisor used in calculations is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements.
-
numeric_only : boolean, default None
-
Include only float, int, boolean columns. If None, will attempt to use everything, then use only numeric data. Not implemented for Series.
Returns: -
std : Series or DataFrame (if level specified)
