def volatility(eqdata, **kwargs):
    """
    Volatility (standard deviation) over the given window

    Parameters
    ----------
    eqdata : DataFrame
    window : int, optional
        Lookback period. Defaults to 20.
    outputcol : str, optional
        Name of column to be used in returned dataframe. Defaults to 'Risk'.
    selection : str, optional
        Column of eqdata on which to calculate volatility. If
        `eqdata` has only 1 column, `selection` is ignored,
        and volatility is calculated on that column. Defaults
        to 'Adj Close'.

    Returns
    ---------
    risk : DataFrame
        Moving volatility with the given lookback.
