ROWSTDEV

Purpose:

Produces a column of the standard deviations of each row of the input table.

Syntax:

ROWSTDEV(a)

a

-

A series or table.

Returns:

A single column series with the same number of rows as the input table.

Example:

a = {{2,  4,  6},

     {8, 10, 12}} 

 

b = rowstdev(a) 

 

b == {2, 2} 

Remarks:

 

ROWSTDEV computes the sample standard deviation for each row of a series where the sample standard deviation is defined as:

 

 

standard deviation

 

where the arithmetic mean is defined as:

 

mean

 

ROWSTDEV handles arrays with differing number of elements.
