Note that for floating-point input, the mean is computed using the same precision the input has. Depending on the input data, this can cause the results to be inaccurate, especially for `float32`. Specifying a higher-precision accumulator using the `dtype` keyword can alleviate this issue. Examples -------- >>> a = np.array([[1, np.nan], [3, 4]]) >>> np.nanmean(a) 2.6666666666666665 >>> np.nanmean(a, axis=0) array([2., 4.]) >>> np.nanmean(a, axis=1) array([1., 3.5]) # may vary r
