[issue40855] statistics.stdev ignore xbar argument
Matti added the comment: >I see what you're trying to do but think that interpretation is surprising >and is at odds with the existing and intended uses of the *xbar* argument. > >The goals were to allow the mean to be precomputed (common case) or to be >recentered (uncommon). Neither case should have the effect of changing the >divisor. > >We can't break existing code that assumes that stdev(data) is equal to >stdev(data, xbar=mean(data)). Maybe the requirement are buged? It seems to me that recalculating the mean is a very niche use case. You will very little time on a call you do once. But what good is it to supply a re-centered mean if you get a wrong estimation of the standard deviation? If the mean is not the mean of the sample it was not calculated using the sample so there is no loos of degrees of freedom. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue40855> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue40855] statistics.stdev ignore xbar argument
Matti added the comment: If we estimate the mean using a sample we loose one degree of freedom so it will be divided by N-1, while if we have the mean independent of the sample it should be divided by N to be unbiased. i.e. example 1 sqrt(((1-1.5)²+(2-1.5)²)/(2-1)) = 0.7... example 3 sqrt(((1-1.5)²+(2-1.5)²)/(2)) = 0.5 -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue40855> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1239] openpty does not give bidirectional pipe
Matti Katila added the comment: Not a real issue - it's a standard behaviour of tty. Fix is to set -icanon: m,s = os.openpty() s = os.ttyname(s) os.system( 'stty cs8 -icanon -echo < %s' % s ) see, http://www.eulogika.net/download/eutalk_20040302/pymouse.html The issue can be closed and documentation can be updated with some helpful information. __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1239> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
