Description:

Calculate the overall variance for the aggregation field value.

Syntax:

var(x)

The function calculates the overall variance for the aggregation field value x. The function can only work as an aggregate function to be used in groups() function.

Option:

@s

Calculate the sample variance of aggregation field value x by dividing it by n-1

Parameter:

x

Aggregation field name, whose data type must be numeric

Return value:

Numeric value

Example:

 

A

 

1

=demo.query("select NAME,EVENT,SCORE from GYMSCORE")

Return a sequence:

2

=A1.groups(EVENT;var(SCORE):SCORE_var)

Group A1’s sequence by EVENT field and calculate SCORE value’s overall variance in each group:

3

=A1.groups(EVENT;var@s(SCORE):SCORE_var)

Use @s option to calculate the sample variance of SCORE value in each group:
