arcsin
= <xarray.ufuncs._UFuncDispatcher object>¶ xarray specific variant of numpy.arcsin. Handles xarray.Dataset, xarray.DataArray, xarray.Variable, numpy.ndarray and dask.array.Array objects with automatic dispatching.
Documentation from numpy:
arcsin(x[, out])
Inverse sine, element-wise.
Parameters: x : array_like
y-coordinate on the unit circle.
out : ndarray, optional
Array of the same shape as x, in which to store the results. See doc.ufuncs (Section “Output arguments”) for more details.
Returns: angle : ndarray
The inverse sine of each element in x, in radians and in the closed interval
[-pi/2, pi/2]
. If x is a scalar, a scalar is returned, otherwise an array.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}.
