    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Data to be averaged.
        Masked entries are not taken into account in the computation.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which to average `a`. If None, averaging is done over
        the flattened array.
    weights : array_like, optional
        The importance that each element has in the computation of the average.
        The weights array can either be 1-D (in which case its length must be
        the size of `a` along the given axis) or of the same shape as `a`.
        If ``weights=None``, then all data in `a` are assumed to have a

    returned : bool, optional

        Default is False.

    Returns
    -------
    average, [sum_of_weights] : (tuple of) scalar or MaskedArray
        The average along the specified axis. When returned is `True`,
        return a tuple with the average as the first element and the sum

def median(a, axis=None, out=None, overwrite_input=False, keepdims=False):

    Compute the median along the specified axis.

    Returns the median of the array elements.

    Parameters
    ----------
    a : array_like
        Input array or object that can be converted to an array.
    axis : int, optional
        Axis along which the medians are computed. The default (None) is
        to compute the median along a flattened version of the array.
    out : ndarray, optional
        Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must
        have the same shape and buffer length as the expected output
        but the type will be cast if necessary.
    overwrite_input : bool, optional
        If True, then allow use of memory of input array (a) for
        calculations. The input array will be modified by the call to
        median. This will save memory when you do not need to preserve
        the contents of the input array. Treat the input as undefined,
        but it will probably be fully or partially sorted. Default is
        False. Note that, if `overwrite_input` is True, and the input
        is not already an `ndarray`, an error will be raised.
    keepdims : bool, optional
        If this is set to True, the axes which are reduced are left
        in the result as dimensions with size one. With this option,
        the result will broadcast correctly against the input array.

        .. versionadded:: 1.10.0

    Returns
    -------
    median : ndarray
        A new array holding the result is returned unless out is
        specified, in which case a reference to out is returned.
        Return data-type is `float64` for integers and floats smaller than
        `float64`, or the input data-type, otherwise.

    Notes
    -----
    Given a vector ``V`` with ``N`` non masked values, the median of ``V``
    is the middle value of a sorted copy of ``V`` (``Vs``) - i.e.
    ``Vs[(N-1)/2]``, when ``N`` is odd, or ``{Vs[N/2 - 1] + Vs[N/2]}/2``
    when ``N`` is even.

    Estimate the covariance matrix.

    Except for the handling of missing data this function does the same as
    `numpy.cov`. For more details and examples, see `numpy.cov`.

    By default, masked values are recognized as such. If `x` and `y` have the
    same shape, a common mask is allocated: if ``x[i,j]`` is masked, then
    ``y[i,j]`` will also be masked.
    Setting `allow_masked` to False will raise an exception if values are
    missing in either of the input arrays.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        A 1-D or 2-D array containing multiple variables and observations.
        Each row of `x` represents a variable, and each column a single
        observation of all those variables. Also see `rowvar` below.
    y : array_like, optional
        An additional set of variables and observations. `y` has the same
        form as `x`.
    rowvar : bool, optional
        If `rowvar` is True (default), then each row represents a
        variable, with observations in the columns. Otherwise, the relationship
        is transposed: each column represents a variable, while the rows
        contain observations.
    bias : bool, optional
        Default normalization (False) is by ``(N-1)``, where ``N`` is the
        number of observations given (unbiased estimate). If `bias` is True,
        then normalization is by ``N``. This keyword can be overridden by
        the keyword ``ddof`` in numpy versions >= 1.5.
    allow_masked : bool, optional
        If True, masked values are propagated pair-wise: if a value is masked
        in `x`, the corresponding value is masked in `y`.
        If False, raises a `ValueError` exception when some values are missing.
    ddof : {None, int}, optional
        If not ``None`` normalization is by ``(N - ddof)``, where ``N`` is
        the number of observations; this overrides the value implied by
        ``bias``. The default value is ``None``.
