StatVarianceP (Function)
In french: StatVarianceP
Calculates the variance for a full series of values.
Remark: StatVarianceP assumes that the arguments represent the entire population. To calculate the variance for a sample of population, use StatVariance. With large-size samples, StatVarianceP and StatVariance approximatively return the same value.
// Calculate the variance of the elements in row 3
ResVarianceP = StatVarianceP("MyMatrix", 3, False)
Syntax
<Result> = StatVarianceP(<Matrix> [, <Row/Column number> [, <Row/Column>]])
<Result>: Real
Variance for a full series of values.
<Matrix>: Character string
Name of the matrix containing the data, defined by MatCreate.
<Row/Column number>: Optional integer
Number of the row or column containing the data (1 by default).
<Row/Column>: Optional boolean
  • True (by default) if the series of values corresponds to a matrix column,
  • False if the series of values corresponds to a matrix row.
Remarks

Number of elements found in a matrix row or in a matrix column

The number of elements found in a matrix row or in a matrix column is taken as a reference. This number of elements corresponds to:
  • the total number of matrix rows, returned by MatNbLine (if the calculation is performed on a column);
  • the total number of matrix columns, returned by MatNbColumn (if the calculation is performed on a row).
If the series contain less elements than the matrix, the missing values are automatically filled with 0. These values are taken into account during the calculations.

Managing errors

Caution: StatVarianceP returns no error code. To find out whether errors have been generated when calculating the variance, use StatError. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
