pyspark.pandas.Series.sem

Series.sem(axis=None, skipna=True, ddof=1, numeric_only=None)

Return unbiased standard error of the mean over requested axis.

New in version 3.3.0.

Parameters

axis: {index (0), columns (1)}

Axis for the function to be applied on.

skipna: bool, default True

Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.

Changed in version 3.4.0: Supported including NA/null values.

ddof: int, default 1

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

Changed in version 3.4.0: Supported including arbitary integers.

numeric_only: bool, default None

Include only float, int, boolean columns. False is not supported. This parameter is mainly for pandas compatibility.

Returns

scalar(for Series) or Series(for DataFrame)
