numpy.var(a, axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, ddof=0, keepdims=False) [source]
Compute the variance along the specified axis. Returns the variance of the array elements, a measure of the spread of a distribution. The variance is computed for the flattened array by default, otherwise over the specified axis. Parameters:
a : array_like Array containing numbers whose variance is desired. If a is not an array, a conversion is attempted. axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional Axis or
