# cumulative_trapezoid

scipy.integrate.cumulative_trapezoid(y, x=None, dx=1.0, axis=-1, initial=None)

  Cumulatively integrate y(x) using the composite trapezoidal rule.

  Parameters:
    yarray_like

      Values to integrate.

    xarray_like, optional

      The coordinate to integrate along. If None (default), use spacing dx between consecutive elements in y.

    dxfloat, optional

      Spacing between elements of y. Only used if x is None.

    axisint, optional

      Specifies the axis to cumulate. Default is -1 (last axis).

    initialscalar, optional

      If given, insert this value at the beginning of the returned result. 0 or None are the only values accepted. Default is None, which means res has one element less than y along the axis of integration.

  Returns:
    resndarray

      The result of cumulative integration of y along axis. If initial is None, the shape is such that the axis of integration has one less value than y. If initial is given, the shape is equal to that of y.
