pandas.core.window.expanding.Expanding.std

Expanding.std(ddof=1, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Calculate expanding standard deviation.

Normalized by N-1 by default. This can be changed using the ddof argument.

Parameters
ddofint, default 1

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

*args, **kwargs

For NumPy compatibility. No additional arguments are used.

Returns
Series or DataFrame

Returns the same object type as the caller of the expanding calculation.

pandas.Series.std

Equivalent method for Series.

pandas.DataFrame.std

Notes

The default ddof of 1 used in Series.std is different than the default ddof of 0 in numpy.std.

A minimum of one period is required for the rolling calculation.
