PlasmaCalcs.tools.xarray_tools.xarray_werr_stats.xarray_werradd(A, B, *, require_std=True)

returns dataset of ‘mean’ and ‘std’ for A + B, including error propagation.

Assumes independent errors and applies the “standard” formula:

mean(A + B) = mean(A) + mean(B)

std(A + B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2)

A, B: xarray.Dataset or DataArray; B can also be any other value.

Dataset –> mean = ds[‘mean’]; std = ds.get(‘std’, default=0).

else –> assume it represents ‘mean’, with std=0.

require_std: bool

whether to require at least one of A or B to have ‘std’.

if True and std missing from both, crash with InputError.
