BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.var (function)

def var(self, unit=None, as_quantity=False, wrap_at=None)

Expose the variance of the distribution.

See scipy docs

This method is just a wrapper around the scipy.stats method on BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.dist_constructor_object with unit-conversions, support for quantity objects, and wrapping done on the returned result.

• BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.median
• BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.mean
• BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.std

Arguments

• unit (astropy.unit, optional, default=None): unit of the values in x to expose. If None or not provided, will assume they're in BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.unit.
• as_quantity (bool, optional, default=False): whether to return an astropy quantity object instead of just the value. Astropy must be installed.
• wrap_at (float, None, or False, optional, default=None): value to use for wrapping. See BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.wrap. If not provided or None, will use the value from BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.wrap_at. Note: wrapping is computed before changing units, so wrap_at must be provided according to BaseMultivariateSliceDistribution.unit not unit.

Returns

• (float) variance of the distribution in units unit.
