(LSTDEV(list))

 

Returns the standard deviation for a list of values.

 

Remarks:

 

The standard deviation is a measure of how widely values are dispersed from the average value.

LSTDEV supports CURRENCY, DECIMAL, DOUBLE, FLOAT, REAL, NUMERIC, or INTEGER data type.

The LSTDEV performs calculations in the same fashion as the COMPUTE command.

 

Example:

 

SET VAR vListStDev DOUBLE = (LSTDEV(173.20,189.45,3929.14,434.75,333.25,257.50,88.70,641.86))
