polars.LazyFrame.var#

LazyFrame.var(ddof: int = 1) LazyFrame[source]#

Aggregate the columns in the LazyFrame to their variance value.

Parameters:
ddof

“Delta Degrees of Freedom”: the divisor used in the calculation is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements. By default ddof is 1.

Examples

>>> lf = pl.LazyFrame(
...     {
...         "a": [1, 2, 3, 4],
...         "b": [1, 2, 1, 1],
...     }
... )
>>> lf.var().collect()
