Description

Description

Checking https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/api.html#top-level-functions

The following (unchecked) top level functions are missing. I filtered out ones that are not relevant for PyTensor

  • broadcast
  • concat
  • where
  • full_like
  • zeros_like
  • ones_like
  • cov
  • corr
  • cross
  • dot
    • dot with arbitrary number of inputs

Research direction

Start with the xarray top-level-functions reference linked in the issue and inspect PyTensor's existing top-level functions, including broadcast, concat, where, full_like, zeros_like, ones_like, and dot. Add cov, corr, and cross, extend dot for an arbitrary number of inputs, and add tests showing the missing functions and expanded dot behavior are supported.
