`scipy.stats._mstats_basic:argstoarray`

Signature

def argstoarray ( * args )

Constructs a 2D array from a group of sequences.

Sequences are filled with missing values to match the length of the longest sequence.

argstoarray : MaskedArray: A ( m x n ) masked array, where m is the number of arguments and n the length of the longest argument.

numpy.ma.vstack has identical behavior, but is called with a sequence of sequences.

A 2D masked array constructed from a group of sequences is returned.
