xarray.ufuncs.arccosh¶

xarray.ufuncs.arccosh = <xarray.ufuncs._UFuncDispatcher object>

xarray specific variant of numpy.arccosh. Handles xarray.Dataset, xarray.DataArray, xarray.Variable, numpy.ndarray and dask.array.Array objects with automatic dispatching.

Documentation from numpy:

arccosh(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting=’same_kind’, order=’K’, dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])

Inverse hyperbolic cosine, element-wise.

Parameters: x : array_like Input array. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs. arccosh : ndarray Array of the same shape as x.

Notes

arccosh is a multivalued function: for each x there are infinitely many numbers z such that cosh(z) = x. The convention is to return the z whose imaginary part lies in [-pi, pi] and the real part in [0, inf].

For real-valued input data types, arccosh always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan and sets the invalid floating point error flag.

For complex-valued input, arccosh is a complex analytical function that has a branch cut [-inf, 1] and is continuous from above on it.
