Calculate standard deviation of items or function of items (FloatNamedArraylist, NamedArraylist, and UnicodeNamedArraylist classes)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]
This method returns by default the standard deviation of the values of the items in the collection, or it returns the standard deviation of the items after a specified function has been applied to them.
Syntax
%number = anyNal:StandardDeviation[( [itemFunction])]
Syntax terms
| %number | number |
|---|---|
| anyNal | An FloatNamedArraylist, NamedArraylist, or UnicodeNamedArraylist object. |
| itemFunction | A function that operates on the type of the items in the collection. It may be a local method or method variable or a class member (Variable, Property), and it must return an intrinsic (probably Float) value.
The default itemFunction value is the special identity function, This, which simply returns the item value. |
