ArcSin / Computation Layer
Calculate the inverse sine (arcsin) of values in a column. Similar to pandas arcsin(), numpy.arcsin(), or R's asin() function. Returns angles in radians.
Mathematical form: where:
- Input domain:
- Output range:
Common applications:
- Angle recovery from projections
- Elevation angle calculations
- Orbital mechanics
- Optics and wave analysis
- Mechanical motion analysis
- Quality control (process deviation)
Note: Returns null for inputs outside [-1, 1] and preserves existing nulls. Results are in radians.

[, ...]Select
columnThe numeric column for inverse sine calculation. Examples:
- Normalized data (0.5 → 0.524 rad ≈ 30°)
- Component ratios (1.0 → π/2 rad = 90°)
- Sine values (-1.0 → -π/2 rad = -90°)
- Scaling factors (0.0 → 0 rad = 0°)
Values must be in range [-1, 1]
AsColumn
nameName for the new column. If not provided, the system generates a unique name. If AsColumn
matches an existing column, the existing column is replaced. The name should follow valid column naming conventions.
