Reference issue
gh-20285
What does this implement/fix?
gh-20285 noted changes to
stats.gstd
that would make it more amenable to the addition of array API support. This implements those changes. It also deprecates support for masked arrays, sincegstd
seems to be unique amongstats
functions in that it advertises support for masked arrays such that it returns a masked array with no masked elements (many handle them, but other functions return regular arrays).Additional information
See #20285 (comment) for context and additional rationale.
