+    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional

+        If axis is a tuple of ints, averaging is performed on all of the axes
+        specified in the tuple instead of a single axis or all the axes as
+        before.
+    weights : array_like, optional
+        An array of weights associated with the values in `a`. Each value in
+        `a` contributes to the average according to its associated weight.
+        The array of weights must be the same shape as `a` if no axis is
+        specified, otherwise the weights must have dimensions and shape
+        consistent with `a` along the specified axis.
+        If `weights=None`, then all data in `a` are assumed to have a
+        weight equal to one.

+            avg = sum(a * weights) / sum(weights)
+
+        where the sum is over all included elements.
+        The only constraint on the values of `weights` is that `sum(weights)`
+        must not be 0.
+    returned : bool, optional
+        Flag indicating whether a tuple ``(result, sum of weights)``
+        should be returned as output (True), or just the result (False).
+        Default is False.
+    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 original `a`.
+        *Note:* `keepdims` will not work with instances of `numpy.matrix`
+        or other classes whose methods do not support `keepdims`.

+
+    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
+        of the weights as the second element. The return type is `np.float64`
+        if `a` is of integer type and floats smaller than `float64`, or the
+        input data-type, otherwise. If returned, `sum_of_weights` is always
+        `float64`.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    ZeroDivisionError
+        When all weights along axis are zero. See `numpy.ma.average` for a
+        version robust to this type of error.
+    TypeError
+        When `weights` does not have the same shape as `a`, and `axis=None`.
+    ValueError
+        When `weights` does not have dimensions and shape consistent with `a`

+    Compute the median along the specified axis.
+

+
+    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

+    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,

+    -------
+    median : ndarray
+        A new array holding the result is returned unless out is

+      - If `axis` is 1 or -1, only columns are masked.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : array_like, MaskedArray
+        The array to mask.  If not a MaskedArray instance (or if no array
+        elements are masked), the result is a MaskedArray with `mask` set
+        to `nomask` (False). Must be a 2D array.
+    axis : int, optional
+        Axis along which to perform the operation. If None, applies to a
+        flattened version of the array.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    a : MaskedArray
+        A modified version of the input array, masked depending on the value
+        of the `axis` parameter.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    NotImplementedError
+        If input array `a` is not 2D.
+
+    See Also
+    --------

+    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
+        shape 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``.
