xorbits.pandas.DataFrame.sem#

DataFrame.sem(axis=None, skipna=True, level=None, ddof=1, numeric_only=None, combine_size=None, method=None)#

Return unbiased standard error of the mean over requested axis.

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

Parameters
  • axis ({index (0), columns (1)}) – For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

  • skipna (bool, default True) – Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA.

  • 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 False) – Include only float, int, boolean columns. Not implemented for Series.

Returns

  • Series or DataFrame (if level specified) – .. rubric:: Examples

    >>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3])  
    >>> s.sem().round(6)  
    0.57735
    

    With a DataFrame

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [2, 3]}, index=['tiger', 'zebra'])  
    >>> df  
           a   b
    tiger  1   2
    zebra  2   3
    >>> df.sem()  
    a   0.5
    b   0.5
    dtype: float64
    

    Using axis=1

    >>> df.sem(axis=1)  
    tiger   0.5
    zebra   0.5
    dtype: float64
    

    In this case, numeric_only should be set to True to avoid getting an error.

    >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': ['T', 'Z']},  
    ...                   index=['tiger', 'zebra'])
    >>> df.sem(numeric_only=True)  
    a   0.5
    dtype: float64
