Series.std(axis=_NoDefault.no_default, skipna=True, level=None, ddof=1, numeric_only=None, **kwargs)#

Return sample standard deviation of the DataFrame.

Normalized by N-1 by default. This can be changed using the ddof argument

Parameters:

axis: {index (0), columns(1)}: Axis for the function to be applied on.
skipna: bool, default True: Exclude NA/null values. If an entire row/column is NA, the result will be NA.
ddof: int, default 1: Delta Degrees of Freedom. The divisor used in calculations is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements.

Returns:
