dask.dataframe.rolling.Rolling.var

Rolling.var(ddof=1)[source]

Calculate the rolling variance.

This docstring was copied from pandas.core.window.rolling.Rolling.var.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

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 (Not supported in Dask)

Include only float, int, boolean columns.

New in version 1.5.0.

enginestr, default None (Not supported in Dask)

  • 'cython' : Runs the operation through C-extensions from cython.

  • 'numba' : Runs the operation through JIT compiled code from numba.

  • None : Defaults to 'cython' or globally setting compute.use_numba

    New in version 1.4.0.

engine_kwargsdict, default None (Not supported in Dask)

  • For 'cython' engine, there are no accepted engine_kwargs

  • For 'numba' engine, the engine can accept nopython, nogil and parallel dictionary keys. The values must either be True or False. The default engine_kwargs for the 'numba' engine is {'nopython': True, 'nogil': False, 'parallel': False}

    New in version 1.4.0.

Returns
Series or DataFrame

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

pandas.Series.var

Notes

The default ddof of 1 used in Series.var() is different than the default ddof of 0 in numpy.var().

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