I have an array:
import numpy as np
# Create an array of values
values = np.array([41,17,44,36,14,29,33,38,49,39,22,15,46])
# Calculate the mean
mean = np.mean(values)
# Calculate the standard deviation
standard_deviation = np.std(values)
How can I calculate the average of values between mean and the 1st standard deviation? I have:
# Calculate the average of values between the mean and the first standard deviation
mean_between_mean_and_first_standard_deviation = np.mean(values[(values >= mean) & (values <= standard_deviation)])
print("Average between mean and first standard deviation:", mean_between_mean_and_first_standard_deviation)
I get:
Average between mean and first standard deviation: nan
The following graphic should make it clearer. You need to select values that are between mean
and mean
plus one times the standard_deviation
.
np.mean(values[(values >= mean) & (values < (mean + 1 * standard_deviation))])
Or if you want mid-point, you could do:
np.mean([mean, mean + 1 * standard_deviation])
