pandas.core.window.rolling.Window.std

Window.std(ddof=1, numeric_only=False, **kwargs)

Calculate the rolling weighted window standard deviation.

Parameters:

ddofint, default 1

Delta Degrees of Freedom. The divisor used in calculations is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements.

numeric_onlybool, default False

Include only float, int, boolean columns.

Added in version 1.5.0.

**kwargs

Keyword arguments to configure the SciPy weighted window type.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame

Return type is the same as the original object with np.float64 dtype.

Examples

>>> ser = pd.Series([0, 1, 5, 2, 8])

To get an instance of Window we need to pass the parameter win_type.

>>> type(ser.rolling(2, win_type='gaussian'))
<class 'pandas.core.window.rolling.Window'>

In order to use the SciPy Gaussian window we need to provide the parameters M and std. The parameter M corresponds to 2 in our example. We pass the second parameter std as a parameter of the following method:

>>> ser.rolling(2, win_type='gaussian').std(std=3)
0         NaN
1    0.707107
2    2.828427
3    2.121320
4    4.242641
