xarray_beam.Dataset.mean

Dataset.mean(dim=None, *, skipna=True, dtype=None, label=None)[source]

Compute the mean of this Dataset using Beam combiners.

This can be significantly faster and more memory efficient than using rechunking.

Parameters:
  • dim (str | list[str] | tuple[str, ...] | None) – dimension(s) to compute the mean over.

  • skipna (bool) – whether to skip missing data when computing the mean.

  • dtype (dtype[Any] | None | type[Any] | _SupportsDType[dtype[Any]] | str | tuple[Any, int] | tuple[Any, SupportsIndex | Sequence[SupportsIndex]] | list[Any] | _DTypeDict | tuple[Any, Any]) – the desired dtype of the resulting Dataset.

  • label (str | None) – A unique name for this stage of the pipeline. Defaults to None, in which case a name will be generated.

Returns:

New Dataset with the mean computed.

Return type:
