PlasmaCalcs.tools.xarray_tools.xarray_werr_stats.xarray_werrdiv(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:

z = A / B

mean(z) = mean(A) / mean(B)

std(z) = abs(mean(z)) * sqrt((std(A)/mean(A))**2 + (std(B)/mean(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.
