- teradataml.dataframe.sql.DataFrameColumn.acos = acos()
- DESCRIPTION:
Function computes the arccosine value of values in column.
The arccosine is the angle whose cosine is the values in column.
Result values return an angle in the range 0 to π radians, inclusive.
NOTES:
1. If the type of the column is not FLOAT, column values are converted to FLOAT
based on implicit type conversion rules. If the values cannot be converted, an
error is reported.
2. Unsupported column types:
a. BYTE or VARBYTE
b. LOBs (BLOB or CLOB)
c. CHARACTER or VARCHAR if the server character set is GRAPHIC
RAISES:
TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
RETURNS:
DataFrameColumn
EXAMPLES:
# Load the data to execute the example.
>>> load_example_data("dataframe", "admissions_train")
>>>
# Create a DataFrame on 'admissions_train' table.
>>> df = DataFrame("admissions_train").iloc[:4]
>>> print(df)

# Example 1: Calculates arccosine value for the 'gpa column values / 10' and
# pass it as input to DataFrame.assign().
>>> result = df.assign(col=(df.gpa/10).acos())
