xarray.Dataset.var¶
-
Dataset.
var
(self, dim=None, skipna=None, **kwargs)¶ Reduce this Dataset’s data by applying var along some dimension(s).
- Parameters
dim (str or sequence of str, optional) – Dimension(s) over which to apply var. By default var is applied over all dimensions.
skipna (bool, optional) – If True, skip missing values (as marked by NaN). By default, only skips missing values for float dtypes; other dtypes either do not have a sentinel missing value (int) or skipna=True has not been implemented (object, datetime64 or timedelta64).
keep_attrs (bool, optional) – If True, the attributes (attrs) will be copied from the original object to the new one. If False (default), the new object will be returned without attributes.
**kwargs (dict) – Additional keyword arguments passed on to the appropriate array function for calculating var on this object’s data.
- Returns
reduced – New Dataset object with var applied to its data and the indicated dimension(s) removed.
- Return type
