xarray.ufuncs.arcsin#
- xarray.ufuncs.arcsin = <xarray.ufuncs._unary_ufunc object>#
xarray specific variant of
numpy.arcsin()
. Handles xarray objects by dispatching to the appropriate function for the underlying array type.Documentation from numpy:
Inverse sine, element-wise.
- Parameters
x (array_like) – y-coordinate on the unit circle.
out (
ndarray
,None
, ortuple
ofndarray
andNone
, optional) – A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.where (array_like, optional) – This condition is broadcast over the input. At locations where the condition is True, the out array will be set to the ufunc result. Elsewhere, the out array will retain its original value. Note that if an uninitialized out array is created via the default
out=None
, locations within it where the condition is False will remain uninitialized.**kwargs – For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
- Returns
angle (
ndarray
) – The inverse sine of each element in x, in radians and in the closed interval[-pi/2, pi/2]
. This is a scalar if x is a scalar.
Notes
arcsin is a multivalued function: for each x there are infinitely many numbers z such that \(sin(z) = x\). The convention is to return the angle z whose real part lies in [-pi/2, pi/2].
For real-valued input data types, arcsin always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields
nan
and sets the invalid floating point error flag.For complex-valued input, arcsin is a complex analytic function that has, by convention, the branch cuts [-inf, -1] and [1, inf] and is continuous from above on the former and from below on the latter.
The inverse sine is also known as asin or sin^{-1}.
