Apply Function Along Time Dimension Of Xarray

I have an image stack stored in an XArray DataArray with dimensions time, x, y on which I'd like to apply a custom function along the time axis of each pixel such that the output i

Solution 1:

def special_mean(x, drop_min=False):
    s = np.sum(x)
    n = len(x)
    if drop_min:
        s = s - x.min()
    n -= 1
    return s/n

times = pd.date_range('2019-01-01', '2019-01-10', name='time')

data = xr.DataArray(np.random.rand(10, 8, 8), dims=["time", "y", "x"], coords={'time': times})
data = data.chunk({'time':10, 'x':1, 'y':1})

res = xr.apply_ufunc(special_mean, data, input_core_dims=[["time"]], kwargs={'drop_min': True}, dask = 'allowed', vectorize = True)

The code above should work.
