pandas.DataFrame.std

DataFrame.std(self, 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 : bool, 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 : bool, 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:

Series or DataFrame (if level specified)
