# tsem

scipy.stats.tsem(a, limits=None, inclusive=(True, True), axis=0, ddof=1, *, nan_policy='propagate', keepdims=False)

  Compute the trimmed standard error of the mean.

  This function finds the standard error of the mean for given values, ignoring values outside the given limits.

  Parameters:
    a array_like

      Array of values.

    limits None or (lower limit, upper limit), optional

      Values in the input array less than the lower limit or greater than the upper limit will be ignored. When limits is None, then all values are used. Either of the limit values in the tuple can also be None representing a half-open interval. The default value is None.

    inclusive(bool, bool), optional

      A tuple consisting of the (lower flag, upper flag). These flags determine whether values exactly equal to the lower or upper limits are included. The default value is (True, True).

    axis int or None, default: 0

      If an int, the axis of the input along which to compute the statistic. The statistic of each axis-slice (e.g. row) of the input will appear in a corresponding element of the output. If `None`, the input will be raveled before computing the statistic.

    ddof int, optional

      Delta degrees of freedom. Default is 1.

    nan_policy{‘propagate’, ‘omit’, ‘raise’}

      Defines how to handle input NaNs.

      - `propagate`: if a NaN is present in the axis slice (e.g. row) along which the statistic is computed, the corresponding entry of the output will be NaN.

      - `omit`: NaNs will be omitted when performing the calculation. If insufficient data remains in the axis slice along which the statistic is computed, the corresponding entry of the output will be NaN.

      - `raise`: if a NaN is present, a `ValueError` will be raised.

    keepdims bool, default: False

      If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option, the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

  Returns:
    tsem float

      Trimmed standard error of the mean.

  Notes

  `tsem` uses unbiased sample standard deviation, i.e. it uses a correction factor `n / (n - 1)`.

  Beginning in SciPy 1.9, `np.matrix` inputs (not recommended for new code) are converted to `np.ndarray` before the calculation is performed. In this case, the output will be a scalar or `np.ndarray` of appropriate shape rather than a 2D `np.matrix`. Similarly, while masked elements of masked arrays are ignored, the output will be a scalar or `np.ndarray` rather than a masked array with `mask=False`.

  Examples

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> from scipy import stats
      >>> x = np.arange(20)
      >>> stats.tsem(x)
      1.3228756555322954
      >>> stats.tsem(x, (3,17))
      1.1547005383792515
