Weighted standard deviation in NumPy

by

How about the following short “manual calculation”?

def weighted_avg_and_std(values, weights):
    """
    Return the weighted average and standard deviation.

    values, weights -- Numpy ndarrays with the same shape.
    """
    average = numpy.average(values, weights=weights)
    # Fast and numerically precise:
    variance = numpy.average((values-average)**2, weights=weights)
    return (average, math.sqrt(variance))
