Hi Koustav,
I hope the code snippet below helps. Without additional constraints, the variance will always be zero.
import gurobipy as gp
model = gp.Model("Minimize Variance")
n = 10
x = model.addVars(n, name=f"x")
mean = x.sum() / n
variance = gp.quicksum((x[i] - mean) ** 2 for i in range(n))
model.setObjective(variance / n)
# TODO: Add other constraints
model.optimize()Did this answer your question?

Hi Lennart,
While following your direction i am facing this issueAttributeError: 'gurobipy.QuadExpr' object has no attribute 'getVar'. Did you mean: 'getVar1'?
But the code is executing without any error if I remove the square part(**2, though its not the right solution). Can you help me with this?

Hi Koustav,
Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the error. Can you please share which gurobipy and Python version you are using? Did you already add any other code to the code snippet above? If so, could you please share?
