        Reduce this Dataset's data by applying ``mean`` along some dimension(s).

        Parameters
        ----------
        dim : str, Iterable of Hashable, "..." or None, default: None
            Name of dimension[s] along which to apply ``mean``. For e.g. ``dim="x"``
            or ``dim=["x", "y"]``. If None, will reduce over the GroupBy dimensions.
            If "...", will reduce over all dimensions.
        skipna : bool or None, optional
            If True, skip missing values (as marked by NaN). By default, only
            skips missing values for float dtypes; other dtypes either do not
            have a sentinel missing value (int) or ``skipna=True`` has not been
            implemented (object, datetime64 or timedelta64).
        keep_attrs : bool or None, optional
            If True, ``attrs`` will be copied from the original
            object to the new one.  If False, the new object will be
            returned without attributes.
        **kwargs : Any
            Additional keyword arguments passed on to the appropriate array
            function for calculating ``mean`` on this object's data.
            These could include dask-specific kwargs like ``split_every``.

        Returns
        -------
        reduced : Dataset
            New Dataset with ``mean`` applied to its data and the
            indicated dimension(s) removed

        Notes
        -----
        Use the ``flox`` package to significantly speed up groupby computations,
        especially with dask arrays. Xarray will use flox by default if installed.
        Pass flox-specific keyword arguments in ``**kwargs``.
        See the `flox documentation <https://flox.readthedocs.io>`_ for more.
