API: expanding/rolling_std/var/cov and ddof · Issue #8064 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)
Though it's not mentioned in the doc strings, expanding/rolling_std/var
support a ddof
parameter, while expanding/rolling_cov
do not (they effectively assume ddof=1
).
I think it would be best if all these functions supported an explicit (i.e. documented) ddof
parameter that defaults to 1
.
