Uniform.std (function)

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

Expose the standard deviation of the distribution.

See scipy docs

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

See also:

• Uniform.median
• Uniform.mean
• Uniform.var

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 Uniform.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 Uniform.wrap. If not provided or None, will use the value from Uniform.wrap_at. Note: wrapping is computed before changing units, so wrap_at must be provided according to Uniform.unit not unit.

Returns

• (float) standard deviation of the distribution in units unit.
