stdev
Calculate the rolling standard deviation of a target column within a given window size.
Standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. It is widely used to assess the risk and volatility of financial returns or other time series data over a specified rolling window. It is the square root of the variance.
Examples
from openbb import obb
# Get Rolling Standard Deviation.
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol="TSLA", start_date="2023-01-01", provider="fmp").to_df()
returns = stock_data["close"].pct_change().dropna()
obb.quantitative.rolling.stdev(data=returns, target="close", window=252)
obb.quantitative.rolling.stdev(target='close', window=2, data='[{'date': '2023-01-02', 'close': 0.05}, {'date': '2023-01-03', 'close': 0.08}, {'date': '2023-01-04', 'close': 0.07}, {'date': '2023-01-05', 'close': 0.06}, {'date': '2023-01-06', 'close': 0.06}]')
