scipy.stats.Uniform.
standard_deviation#
- Uniform.standard_deviation(*, method=None)[source]#
- Standard deviation (square root of the second central moment) - Parameters:
- method{None, ‘formula’, ‘transform’, ‘normalize’, ‘quadrature’, ‘cache’}
- Method used to calculate the central second moment. Not all methods are available for all distributions. See - momentfor details.
