def take(a, indices, axis=None, out=None, mode='raise'):
    """
    Take elements from an array along an axis.

    When axis is not None, this function does the same thing as "fancy"
    indexing (indexing arrays using arrays); however, it can be easier to use
    if you need elements along a given axis. A call such as
    ``np.take(arr, indices, axis=3)`` is equivalent to
    ``arr[:,:,:,indices,...]``.

    Explained without fancy indexing, this is equivalent to the following use
    of `ndindex`, which sets each of ``ii``, ``jj``, and ``kk`` to a tuple of
    indices::

        Ni, Nk = a.shape[:axis], a.shape[axis+1:]
        Nj = indices.shape
        for ii in ndindex(Ni):
            for jj in ndindex(Nj):
                for kk in ndindex(Nk):
                    out[ii + jj + kk] = a[ii + (indices[jj],) + kk]

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like (Ni..., M, Nk...)
        The source array.
    indices : array_like (Nj...)
        The indices of the values to extract.

        .. versionadded:: 1.8.0

        Also allow scalars for indices.
    axis : int, optional
        The axis over which to select values. By default, the flattened
        input array is used.
    out : ndarray, optional (Ni..., Nj..., Nk...)
        If provided, the result will be placed in this array. It should
        be of the appropriate shape and dtype.
    mode : {'raise', 'wrap', 'clip'}, optional
        Specifies how out-of-bounds indices will behave.

        * 'raise' -- raise an error (default)
        * 'wrap' -- wrap around
        * 'clip' -- clip to the range

        'clip' mode means that all indices that are too large are replaced
        by the index that addresses the last element along that axis. Note
        that this disables indexing with negative numbers.

    Returns
    -------
    out : ndarray (Ni..., Nj..., Nk...)
        The returned array has the same type as `a`.

    See Also
    --------
    compress : Take elements using a boolean mask
    ndarray.take : equivalent method
    take_along_axis : Take elements by matching the array and the index arrays

    Notes
    -----

    By eliminating the inner loop in the description above, and using `s_` to
    build simple slice objects, `take` can be expressed  in terms of applying
    fancy indexing to each 1-d slice::

        Ni, Nk = a.shape[:axis], a.shape[axis+1:]
        for ii in ndindex(Ni):
            for kk in ndindex(Nj):
                out[ii + s_[...,] + kk] = a[ii + s_[:,] + kk][indices]

    For this reason, it is equivalent to (but faster than) the following use
    of `apply_along_axis`::

        out = np.apply_along_axis(lambda a_1d: a_1d[indices], axis, a)

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = [4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 8]
    >>> indices = [0, 1, 4]
    >>> np.take(a, indices)
    array([4, 3, 6])

    In this example if `a` is an ndarray, "fancy" indexing can be used.

    >>> a = np.array(a)
    >>> a[indices]
    array([4, 3, 6])

    If `indices` is not one dimensional, the output also has these dimensions.

    >>> np.take(a, [[0, 1], [2, 3]])
    array([[4, 3],
           [5, 7]])

# not deprecated --- copy if necessary, view otherwise
@array_function_dispatch(_reshape_dispatcher)
def reshape(a, newshape, order='C'):
    """
    Gives a new shape to an array without changing its data.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array to be reshaped.
    newshape : int or tuple of ints
        The new shape should be compatible with the original shape. If
        an integer, then the result will be a 1-D array of that length.
        One shape dimension can be -1. In this case, the value is
        inferred from the length of the array and remaining dimensions.
    order : {'C', 'F', 'A'}, optional
        Read the elements of `a` using this index order, and place the
        elements into the reshaped array using this index order.  'C'
        means to read / write the elements using C-like index order,
        with the last axis index changing fastest, back to the first
        axis index changing slowest. 'F' means to read / write the
        elements using Fortran-like index order, with the first index
        changing fastest, and the last index changing slowest. Note that
        the 'C' and 'F' options take no account of the memory layout of
        the underlying array, and only refer to the order of indexing.
        'A' means to read / write the elements in Fortran-like index
        order if `a` is Fortran *contiguous* in memory, C-like order
        otherwise.

    Returns
    -------
    reshaped_array : ndarray
        This will be a new view object if possible; otherwise, it will
        be a copy.  Note there is no guarantee of the *memory layout* (C- or
        Fortran- contiguous) of the returned array.

    See Also
    --------
    ndarray.reshape : Equivalent method.

    Notes
    -----
    It is not always possible to change the shape of an array without
    copying the data. If you want an error to be raised when the data is copied,
    you should assign the new shape to the shape attribute of the array::

     >>> a = np.zeros((10, 2))
     # A transpose makes the array non-contiguous
     >>> b = a.T
     # Taking a view makes it possible to modify the shape without modifying
     # the initial object.
     >>> c = b.view()
     >>> c.shape = (20)
     AttributeError: incompatible shape for a non-contiguous array

    The `order` keyword gives the index ordering both for *fetching* the values
    from `a`, and then *placing* the values into the output array.
    For example, let's say you have an array:

    >>> a = np.arange(6).reshape((3, 2))
    >>> a
    array([[0, 1],
           [2, 3],
           [4, 5]])

    You can think of reshaping as first raveling the array (using the given
    index order), then inserting the elements from the raveled array into the
    new array using the same kind of index ordering as was used for the
    raveling.

    >>> np.reshape(a, (2, 3)) # C-like index ordering
    array([[0, 1, 2],
           [3, 4, 5]])
    >>> np.reshape(np.ravel(a), (2, 3)) # equivalent to C ravel then C reshape
    array([[0, 1, 2],
           [3, 4, 5]])
    >>> np.reshape(a, (2, 3), order='F') # Fortran-like index ordering
    array([[0, 4, 3],
           [2, 1, 5]])
    >>> np.reshape(np.ravel(a, order='F'), (2, 3), order='F')
    array([[0, 4, 3],
           [2, 1, 5]])

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([[1,2,3], [4,5,6]])
    >>> np.reshape(a, 6)
    array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

@array_function_dispatch(_choose_dispatcher)
def choose(a, choices, out=None, mode='raise'):
    """
    Construct an array from an index array and a set of arrays to choose from.

    First of all, if confused or uncertain, definitely look at the Examples -
    in its full generality, this function is less simple than it might
    seem from the following code description (below ndi =
    `numpy.lib.index_tricks`):

    ``np.choose(a,c) == np.array([c[a[I]][I] for I in ndi.ndindex(a.shape)])``.

    But this omits some subtleties.  Here is a fully general summary:

    Given an "index" array (`a`) of integers and a sequence of `n` arrays
    (`choices`), `a` and each choice array are first broadcast, as necessary,
    to arrays of a common shape; calling these *Ba* and *Bchoices[i], i =
    0,...,n-1* we have that, necessarily, ``Ba.shape == Bchoices[i].shape``
    for each `i`.  Then, a new array with shape ``Ba.shape`` is created as
    follows:

    * if ``mode=raise`` (the default), then, first of all, each element of
      `a` (and thus `Ba`) must be in the range `[0, n-1]`; now, suppose that
      `i` (in that range) is the value at the `(j0, j1, ..., jm)` position
      in `Ba` - then the value at the same position in the new array is the
      value in `Bchoices[i]` at that same position;

    * if ``mode=wrap``, values in `a` (and thus `Ba`) may be any (signed)
      integer; modular arithmetic is used to map integers outside the range
      `[0, n-1]` back into that range; and then the new array is constructed
      as above;

    * if ``mode=clip``, values in `a` (and thus `Ba`) may be any (signed)
      integer; negative integers are mapped to 0; values greater than `n-1`
      are mapped to `n-1`; and then the new array is constructed as above.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : int array
        This array must contain integers in `[0, n-1]`, where `n` is the number
        of choices, unless ``mode=wrap`` or ``mode=clip``, in which cases any
        integers are permissible.
    choices : sequence of arrays
        Choice arrays. `a` and all of the choices must be broadcastable to the
        same shape.  If `choices` is itself an array (not recommended), then
        its outermost dimension (i.e., the one corresponding to
        ``choices.shape[0]``) is taken as defining the "sequence".
    out : array, optional
        If provided, the result will be inserted into this array. It should
        be of the appropriate shape and dtype.
    mode : {'raise' (default), 'wrap', 'clip'}, optional
        Specifies how indices outside `[0, n-1]` will be treated:

          * 'raise' : an exception is raised
          * 'wrap' : value becomes value mod `n`
          * 'clip' : values < 0 are mapped to 0, values > n-1 are mapped to n-1

    Returns
    -------
    merged_array : array
        The merged result.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError: shape mismatch
        If `a` and each choice array are not all broadcastable to the same
        shape.

    See Also
    --------
    ndarray.choose : equivalent method

    Notes
    -----
    To reduce the chance of misinterpretation, even though the following
    "abuse" is nominally supported, `choices` should neither be, nor be
    thought of as, a single array, i.e., the outermost sequence-like container
    should be either a list or a tuple.

    Examples
    --------

    >>> choices = [[0, 1, 2, 3], [10, 11, 12, 13],
    ...   [20, 21, 22, 23], [30, 31, 32, 33]]
    >>> np.choose([2, 3, 1, 0], choices
    ... # the first element of the result will be the first element of the
    ... # third (2+1) "array" in choices, namely, 20; the second element
    ... # will be the second element of the fourth (3+1) choice array, i.e.,
    ... # 31, etc.
    ... )
    array([20, 31, 12,  3])
    >>> np.choose([2, 4, 1, 0], choices, mode='clip') # 4 goes to 3 (4-1)
    array([20, 31, 12,  3])
    >>> # because there are 4 choice arrays
    >>> np.choose([2, 4, 1, 0], choices, mode='wrap') # 4 goes to (4 mod 4)
    array([20,  1, 12,  3])
    >>> # i.e., 0

    A couple examples illustrating how choose broadcasts:

    >>> a = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]]
    >>> choices = [-10, 10]
    >>> np.choose(a, choices)

    Return a partitioned copy of an array.

    Creates a copy of the array with its elements rearranged in such a

    .. versionadded:: 1.8.0

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array to be sorted.
    kth : int or sequence of ints
        Element index to partition by. The k-th value of the element
        will be in its final sorted position and all smaller elements
        will be moved before it and all equal or greater elements behind
        it. The order of all elements in the partitions is undefined. If
        provided with a sequence of k-th it will partition all elements
        indexed by k-th  of them into their sorted position at once.
    axis : int or None, optional
        Axis along which to sort. If None, the array is flattened before
        sorting. The default is -1, which sorts along the last axis.

        Selection algorithm. Default is 'introselect'.
    order : str or list of str, optional
        When `a` is an array with fields defined, this argument
        specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc.  A single
        field can be specified as a string.  Not all fields need be
        specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the
        order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.

    partitioned_array : ndarray
        Array of the same type and shape as `a`.

    Notes
    -----
    The various selection algorithms are characterized by their average
    speed, worst case performance, work space size, and whether they are
    stable. A stable sort keeps items with the same key in the same
    relative order. The available algorithms have the following
    properties:

    ================= ======= ============= ============ =======
       kind            speed   worst case    work space  stable
    ================= ======= ============= ============ =======
    'introselect'        1        O(n)           0         no
    ================= ======= ============= ============ =======

    All the partition algorithms make temporary copies of the data when
    partitioning along any but the last axis.  Consequently,
    partitioning along the last axis is faster and uses less space than
    partitioning along any other axis.

    The sort order for complex numbers is lexicographic. If both the
    real and imaginary parts are non-nan then the order is determined by
    the real parts except when they are equal, in which case the order
    is determined by the imaginary parts.

    Notes
    -----
    The various sorting algorithms are characterized by their average speed,
    worst case performance, work space size, and whether they are stable. A
    stable sort keeps items with the same key in the same relative
    order. The three available algorithms have the following

    'heapsort'     3     O(n*log(n))       0          no

    All the sort algorithms make temporary copies of the data when
    sorting along any but the last axis.  Consequently, sorting along
    the last axis is faster and uses less space than sorting along
    any other axis.

    The sort order for complex numbers is lexicographic. If both the real
    and imaginary parts are non-nan then the order is determined by the
    real parts except when they are equal, in which case the order is
    determined by the imaginary parts.

    Previous to numpy 1.4.0 sorting real and complex arrays containing nan
    values led to undefined behaviour. In numpy versions >= 1.4.0 nan
    values are sorted to the end. The extended sort order is:

      * Real: [R, nan]
      * Complex: [R + Rj, R + nanj, nan + Rj, nan + nanj]

    where R is a non-nan real value. Complex values with the same nan
    placements are sorted according to the non-nan part if it exists.
    Non-nan values are sorted as before.

    .. versionadded:: 1.12.0

    quicksort has been changed to an introsort which will switch
    heapsort when it does not make enough progress. This makes its
    worst case O(n*log(n)).

    'stable' automatically choses the best stable sorting algorithm
    for the data type being sorted. It is currently mapped to
    merge sort.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([[1,4],[3,1]])
    >>> np.sort(a)                # sort along the last axis
    array([[1, 4],
           [1, 3]])
    >>> np.sort(a, axis=None)     # sort the flattened array
    array([1, 1, 3, 4])
    >>> np.sort(a, axis=0)        # sort along the first axis
    array([[1, 1],
           [3, 4]])

    Use the `order` keyword to specify a field to use when sorting a
    structured array:

    >>> dtype = [('name', 'S10'), ('height', float), ('age', int)]
    >>> values = [('Arthur', 1.8, 41), ('Lancelot', 1.9, 38),
    ...           ('Galahad', 1.7, 38)]
    >>> a = np.array(values, dtype=dtype)       # create a structured array

          dtype=[('name', '|S10'), ('height', '<f8'), ('age', '<i4')])

    Sort by age, then height if ages are equal:

    >>> np.sort(a, order=['age', 'height'])               # doctest: +SKIP
    array([('Galahad', 1.7, 38), ('Lancelot', 1.8999999999999999, 38),

    array is filled with repeated copies of `a`.  Note that this behavior
    is different from a.resize(new_shape) which fills with zeros instead
    of repeated copies of `a`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array to be resized.

    new_shape : int or tuple of int
        Shape of resized array.

    Returns
    -------
    reshaped_array : ndarray
        The new array is formed from the data in the old array, repeated
        if necessary to fill out the required number of elements.  The
        data are repeated in the order that they are stored in memory.

    --------
    ndarray.resize : resize an array in-place.

    Notes
    -----
    Warning: This functionality does **not** consider axes separately,
    i.e. it does not apply interpolation/extrapolation.
    It fills the return array with the required number of elements, taken
    from `a` as they are laid out in memory, disregarding strides and axes.
    (This is in case the new shape is smaller. For larger, see above.)
    This functionality is therefore not suitable to resize images,
    or data where each axis represents a separate and distinct entity.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a=np.array([[0,1],[2,3]])
    >>> np.resize(a,(2,3))

    Return specified diagonals.

    If `a` is 2-D, returns the diagonal of `a` with the given offset,
    i.e., the collection of elements of the form ``a[i, i+offset]``.  If
    `a` has more than two dimensions, then the axes specified by `axis1`
    and `axis2` are used to determine the 2-D sub-array whose diagonal is
    returned.  The shape of the resulting array can be determined by
    removing `axis1` and `axis2` and appending an index to the right equal
    to the size of the resulting diagonals.

    In versions of NumPy prior to 1.7, this function always returned a new,
    independent array containing a copy of the values in the diagonal.

    In NumPy 1.7 and 1.8, it continues to return a copy of the diagonal,
    but depending on this fact is deprecated. Writing to the resulting
    array continues to work as it used to, but a FutureWarning is issued.

    Starting in NumPy 1.9 it returns a read-only view on the original array.
    Attempting to write to the resulting array will produce an error.

    In some future release, it will return a read/write view and writing to
    the returned array will alter your original array.  The returned array
    will have the same type as the input array.

    If you don't write to the array returned by this function, then you can
    just ignore all of the above.

    If you depend on the current behavior, then we suggest copying the
    returned array explicitly, i.e., use ``np.diagonal(a).copy()`` instead
    of just ``np.diagonal(a)``. This will work with both past and future
    versions of NumPy.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array from which the diagonals are taken.
    offset : int, optional
        Offset of the diagonal from the main diagonal.  Can be positive or
        negative.  Defaults to main diagonal (0).
    axis1 : int, optional
        Axis to be used as the first axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from which
        the diagonals should be taken.  Defaults to first axis (0).
    axis2 : int, optional
        Axis to be used as the second axis of the 2-D sub-arrays from
        which the diagonals should be taken. Defaults to second axis (1).

    Returns
    -------
    array_of_diagonals : ndarray
        If `a` is 2-D, then a 1-D array containing the diagonal and of the
        same type as `a` is returned unless `a` is a `matrix`, in which case
        a 1-D array rather than a (2-D) `matrix` is returned in order to
        maintain backward compatibility.
        
        If ``a.ndim > 2``, then the dimensions specified by `axis1` and `axis2`
        are removed, and a new axis inserted at the end corresponding to the
        diagonal.

    A 1-D array, containing the elements of the input, is returned.  A copy is
    made only if needed.

    As of NumPy 1.10, the returned array will have the same type as the input
    array. (for example, a masked array will be returned for a masked array
    input)

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input array.  The elements in `a` are read in the order specified by
        `order`, and packed as a 1-D array.
    order : {'C','F', 'A', 'K'}, optional

        The elements of `a` are read using this index order. 'C' means
        to index the elements in row-major, C-style order,
        with the last axis index changing fastest, back to the first
        axis index changing slowest.  'F' means to index the elements
        in column-major, Fortran-style order, with the
        first index changing fastest, and the last index changing
        slowest. Note that the 'C' and 'F' options take no account of
        the memory layout of the underlying array, and only refer to
        the order of axis indexing.  'A' means to read the elements in
        Fortran-like index order if `a` is Fortran *contiguous* in
        memory, C-like order otherwise.  'K' means to read the
        elements in the order they occur in memory, except for
        reversing the data when strides are negative.  By default, 'C'
        index order is used.

    Returns
    -------
    y : array_like
        y is an array of the same subtype as `a`, with shape ``(a.size,)``.
        Note that matrices are special cased for backward compatibility, if `a`
        is a matrix, then y is a 1-D ndarray.

    See Also
    --------
    ndarray.flat : 1-D iterator over an array.
    ndarray.flatten : 1-D array copy of the elements of an array
                      in row-major order.
    ndarray.reshape : Change the shape of an array without changing its data.

    Notes
    -----
    In row-major, C-style order, in two dimensions, the row index
    varies the slowest, and the column index the quickest.  This can
    be generalized to multiple dimensions, where row-major order
    implies that the index along the first axis varies slowest, and
    the index along the last quickest.  The opposite holds for
    column-major, Fortran-style index ordering.

    When a view is desired in as many cases as possible, ``arr.reshape(-1)``
    may be preferable.

    Examples
    --------
    It is equivalent to ``reshape(-1, order=order)``.

    >>> x = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
    >>> print(np.ravel(x))
    [1 2 3 4 5 6]

    >>> print(x.reshape(-1))
    [1 2 3 4 5 6]

    >>> print(np.ravel(x, order='F'))
    [1 4 2 5 3 6]

    When ``order`` is 'A', it will preserve the array's 'C' or 'F' ordering:

    >>> print(np.ravel(x.T))
    [1 4 2 5 3 6]
    >>> print(np.ravel(x.T, order='A'))
    [1 2 3 4 5 6]

    When ``order`` is 'K', it will preserve orderings that are neither 'C'
    nor 'F', but won't reverse axes:

    >>> a = np.arange(3)[::-1]; a
    array([2, 1, 0])
    >>> a.ravel(order='C')
    array([2, 1, 0])

           [1, 1],
           [2, 0],
           [2, 1])

    A common use for ``nonzero`` is to find the indices of an array, where
    a condition is True.  Given an array `a`, the condition `a` > 3 is a
    boolean array and since False is interpreted as 0, np.nonzero(a > 3)
    yields the indices of the `a` where the condition is true.

    >>> a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
    >>> a > 3
    array([[False, False, False],
           [ True,  True,  True],

    >>> np.nonzero(a > 3)
    (array([1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2]), array([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]))

    Using this result to index `a` is equivalent to using the mask directly:

    >>> a[a > 3]  # prefer this spelling

    ``nonzero`` can also be called as a method of the array.

def clip(a, a_min, a_max, out=None):
    """
    Clip (limit) the values in an array.

    Given an interval, values outside the interval are clipped to
    the interval edges.  For example, if an interval of ``[0, 1]``
    is specified, values smaller than 0 become 0, and values larger
    than 1 become 1.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array containing elements to clip.
    a_min : scalar or array_like or `None`
        Minimum value. If `None`, clipping is not performed on lower
        interval edge. Not more than one of `a_min` and `a_max` may be
        `None`.
    a_max : scalar or array_like or `None`
        Maximum value. If `None`, clipping is not performed on upper
        interval edge. Not more than one of `a_min` and `a_max` may be
        `None`. If `a_min` or `a_max` are array_like, then the three
        arrays will be broadcasted to match their shapes.
    out : ndarray, optional
        The results will be placed in this array. It may be the input
        array for in-place clipping.  `out` must be of the right shape
        to hold the output.  Its type is preserved.

    Returns
    -------
    clipped_array : ndarray
        An array with the elements of `a`, but where values
        < `a_min` are replaced with `a_min`, and those > `a_max`
        with `a_max`.

    Sum of array elements over a given axis.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Elements to sum.
    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which a sum is performed.  The default,
        axis=None, will sum all of the elements of the input array.  If
        axis is negative it counts from the last to the first axis.

        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

        If axis is a tuple of ints, a sum is performed on all of the axes
        specified in the tuple instead of a single axis or all the axes as
        before.
    dtype : dtype, optional
        The type of the returned array and of the accumulator in which the
        elements are summed.  The dtype of `a` is used by default unless `a`
        has an integer dtype of less precision than the default platform
        integer.  In that case, if `a` is signed then the platform integer
        is used while if `a` is unsigned then an unsigned integer of the
        same precision as the platform integer is used.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have
        the same shape as the expected output, but the type of the output
        values will be cast if necessary.
    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
        the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

        If the default value is passed, then `keepdims` will not be
        passed through to the `sum` method of sub-classes of
        `ndarray`, however any non-default value will be.  If the
        sub-class' method does not implement `keepdims` any
        exceptions will be raised.
    initial : scalar, optional
        Starting value for the sum. See `~numpy.ufunc.reduce` for details.

        .. versionadded:: 1.15.0

    Returns
    -------
    sum_along_axis : ndarray
        An array with the same shape as `a`, with the specified
        axis removed.   If `a` is a 0-d array, or if `axis` is None, a scalar
        is returned.  If an output array is specified, a reference to

    Notes
    -----
    Arithmetic is modular when using integer types, and no error is
    raised on overflow.

    The sum of an empty array is the neutral element 0:

    >>> np.sum([])
    0.0

    Examples
    --------
    >>> np.sum([0.5, 1.5])
    2.0
    >>> np.sum([0.5, 0.7, 0.2, 1.5], dtype=np.int32)

    array([0, 6])
    >>> np.sum([[0, 1], [0, 5]], axis=1)

    If the accumulator is too small, overflow occurs:

    nanmin, minimum, fmin

    Notes
    -----
    NaN values are propagated, that is if at least one item is NaN, the
    corresponding max value will be NaN as well. To ignore NaN values
    (MATLAB behavior), please use nanmax.

    Don't use `amax` for element-wise comparison of 2 arrays; when
    ``a.shape[0]`` is 2, ``maximum(a[0], a[1])`` is faster than
    ``amax(a, axis=0)``.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.arange(4).reshape((2,2))
    >>> a
    array([[0, 1],
           [2, 3]])

    array([ 0, 10])

    Return the minimum of an array or minimum along an axis.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input data.
    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which to operate.  By default, flattened input is
        used.

        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

        If this is a tuple of ints, the minimum is selected over multiple axes,
        instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternative output array in which to place the result.  Must
        be of the same shape and buffer length as the expected output.
        See `doc.ufuncs` (Section "Output arguments") for more details.

    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
        the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

        If the default value is passed, then `keepdims` will not be
        passed through to the `amin` method of sub-classes of
        `ndarray`, however any non-default value will be.  If the
        sub-class' method does not implement `keepdims` any
        exceptions will be raised.

    initial : scalar, optional
        The maximum value of an output element. Must be present to allow
        computation on empty slice. See `~numpy.ufunc.reduce` for details.

        .. versionadded:: 1.15.0

    Returns
    -------
    amin : ndarray or scalar
        Minimum of `a`. If `axis` is None, the result is a scalar value.
        If `axis` is given, the result is an array of dimension
        ``a.ndim - 1``.

    See Also
    --------
    amax :
        The maximum value of an array along a given axis, propagating any NaNs.
    nanmin :
        The minimum value of an array along a given axis, ignoring any NaNs.
    minimum :
        Element-wise minimum of two arrays, propagating any NaNs.
    fmin :
        Element-wise minimum of two arrays, ignoring any NaNs.
    argmin :
        Return the indices of the minimum values.

    nanmax, maximum, fmax

    Notes
    -----
    NaN values are propagated, that is if at least one item is NaN, the
    corresponding min value will be NaN as well. To ignore NaN values
    (MATLAB behavior), please use nanmin.

    Don't use `amin` for element-wise comparison of 2 arrays; when
    ``a.shape[0]`` is 2, ``minimum(a[0], a[1])`` is faster than
    ``amin(a, axis=0)``.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.arange(4).reshape((2,2))
    >>> a
    array([[0, 1],
           [2, 3]])
    >>> np.amin(a)           # Minimum of the flattened array
    0
    >>> np.amin(a, axis=0)   # Minima along the first axis
    array([0, 1])
    >>> np.amin(a, axis=1)   # Minima along the second axis
    array([0, 2])

    >>> b = np.arange(5, dtype=float)
    >>> b[2] = np.NaN
    >>> np.amin(b)

    >>> np.nanmin(b)
    0.0

    >>> np.min([[-50], [10]], axis=-1, initial=0)
    array([-50,   0])

    Notice that the initial value is used as one of the elements for which the
    minimum is determined, unlike for the default argument Python's max
    function, which is only used for empty iterables.

    Notice that this isn't the same as Python's ``default`` argument.

        .. versionadded:: 1.15.0

    Returns
    -------
    product_along_axis : ndarray, see `dtype` parameter above.

    Notes
    -----
    Arithmetic is modular when using integer types, and no error is
    raised on overflow.  That means that, on a 32-bit platform:

    >>> x = np.array([536870910, 536870910, 536870910, 536870910])
    >>> np.prod(x)  # random
    16

    The product of an empty array is the neutral element 1:

    >>> np.prod([])
    1.0

    Examples
    --------
    By default, calculate the product of all elements:

    >>> np.prod([1.,2.])
    2.0

    Even when the input array is two-dimensional:

    >>> np.prod([[1.,2.],[3.,4.]])
    24.0

    But we can also specify the axis over which to multiply:

    >>> np.prod([[1.,2.],[3.,4.]], axis=1)
    array([  2.,  12.])

    If the type of `x` is unsigned, then the output type is
    the unsigned platform integer:

    >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.uint8)
    >>> np.prod(x).dtype == np.uint
    True

    If `x` is of a signed integer type, then the output type
    is the default platform integer:

    >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3], dtype=np.int8)
    >>> np.prod(x).dtype == int
    True

    -0.5 and 0.5 round to 0.0, etc. Results may also be surprising due
    to the inexact representation of decimal fractions in the IEEE
    floating point standard [1]_ and errors introduced when scaling
    by powers of ten.

    Notes
    -----
    The arithmetic mean is the sum of the elements along the axis divided
    by the number of elements.

    Note that for floating-point input, the mean is computed using the
    same precision the input has.  Depending on the input data, this can
    cause the results to be inaccurate, especially for `float32` (see
    example below).  Specifying a higher-precision accumulator using the
    `dtype` keyword can alleviate this issue.

    By default, `float16` results are computed using `float32` intermediates
    for extra precision.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
    >>> np.mean(a)
    2.5
    >>> np.mean(a, axis=0)
    array([ 2.,  3.])
    >>> np.mean(a, axis=1)
    array([ 1.5,  3.5])

    In single precision, `mean` can be inaccurate:

    >>> a = np.zeros((2, 512*512), dtype=np.float32)
    >>> a[0, :] = 1.0
    >>> a[1, :] = 0.1
    >>> np.mean(a)
    0.54999924

    Computing the mean in float64 is more accurate:

        `ndarray`, however any non-default value will be.  If the
        sub-class' method does not implement `keepdims` any
        exceptions will be raised.

    Returns
    -------
    standard_deviation : ndarray, see dtype parameter above.
        If `out` is None, return a new array containing the standard deviation,
        otherwise return a reference to the output array.

    See Also
    --------
    var, mean, nanmean, nanstd, nanvar
    numpy.doc.ufuncs : Section "Output arguments"

    Notes
    -----
    The standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared
    deviations from the mean, i.e., ``std = sqrt(mean(abs(x - x.mean())**2))``.

    The average squared deviation is normally calculated as
    ``x.sum() / N``, where ``N = len(x)``.  If, however, `ddof` is specified,
    the divisor ``N - ddof`` is used instead. In standard statistical
    practice, ``ddof=1`` provides an unbiased estimator of the variance
    of the infinite population. ``ddof=0`` provides a maximum likelihood
    estimate of the variance for normally distributed variables. The
    standard deviation computed in this function is the square root of
    the estimated variance, so even with ``ddof=1``, it will not be an
    unbiased estimate of the standard deviation per se.

    Note that, for complex numbers, `std` takes the absolute
    value before squaring, so that the result is always real and nonnegative.

    For floating-point input, the *std* is computed using the same
    precision the input has. Depending on the input data, this can cause
    the results to be inaccurate, especially for float32 (see example below).
    Specifying a higher-accuracy accumulator using the `dtype` keyword can
    alleviate this issue.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
    >>> np.std(a)
    1.1180339887498949
    >>> np.std(a, axis=0)
    array([ 1.,  1.])
    >>> np.std(a, axis=1)
    array([ 0.5,  0.5])

    In single precision, std() can be inaccurate:

    >>> a = np.zeros((2, 512*512), dtype=np.float32)
    >>> a[0, :] = 1.0
    >>> a[1, :] = 0.1
    >>> np.std(a)
    0.45000005

    Computing the standard deviation in float64 is more accurate:

    >>> np.std(a, dtype=np.float64)
    0.44999999925494177

    Compute the variance along the specified axis.

    Returns the variance of the array elements, a measure of the spread of a
    distribution.  The variance is computed for the flattened array by
    default, otherwise over the specified axis.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Array containing numbers whose variance is desired.  If `a` is not an
        array, a conversion is attempted.
    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
        Axis or axes along which the variance is computed.  The default is to
        compute the variance of the flattened array.

        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

        If this is a tuple of ints, a variance is performed over multiple axes,
        instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.
    dtype : data-type, optional
        Type to use in computing the variance.  For arrays of integer type
        the default is `float32`; for arrays of float types it is the same as
        the array type.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternate output array in which to place the result.  It must have
        the same shape as the expected output, but the type is cast if
        necessary.
    ddof : int, optional
        "Delta Degrees of Freedom": the divisor used in the calculation is
        ``N - ddof``, where ``N`` represents the number of elements. By
        default `ddof` is zero.
    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
        the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

        If the default value is passed, then `keepdims` will not be
        passed through to the `var` method of sub-classes of
        `ndarray`, however any non-default value will be.  If the
        sub-class' method does not implement `keepdims` any
        exceptions will be raised.

    Returns
    -------
    variance : ndarray, see dtype parameter above
        If ``out=None``, returns a new array containing the variance;
        otherwise, a reference to the output array is returned.

    Notes
    -----
    The variance is the average of the squared deviations from the mean,
    i.e.,  ``var = mean(abs(x - x.mean())**2)``.

    The mean is normally calculated as ``x.sum() / N``, where ``N = len(x)``.
    If, however, `ddof` is specified, the divisor ``N - ddof`` is used
    instead.  In standard statistical practice, ``ddof=1`` provides an
    unbiased estimator of the variance of a hypothetical infinite population.
    ``ddof=0`` provides a maximum likelihood estimate of the variance for
    normally distributed variables.

    Note that for complex numbers, the absolute value is taken before
    squaring, so that the result is always real and nonnegative.

    For floating-point input, the variance is computed using the same
    precision the input has.  Depending on the input data, this can cause

    0.20250003
