Average(Parameters: Array): Variant;
Average(Context: Prognoz.Platform.Interop.Fore.ForeRuntimeContext; Parameters: System.Array): object;
Context. Context. The parameter is used only in Fore.NET.
Parameters. Variable.
The Average method returns average value of selected variable points.
If more than one variable is specified in Parameters, average of corresponding variable points is calculated. For example, average of points of 2018 by all variables.
Variables in Parameters must be separated via comma.
A calculated period can be set for the method. To do this, use the IModelling.SetPeriod method, by specifying it at any place of input array.
To calculate method without taking into account empty values, use the IgnoreMissing parameter by specifying it in any place of the input array. Available values of the parameter:
True. The default value. Calculation does not take into account empty values.
False. Calculation takes into account empty values.
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a modeling container with the MS identifier. This contains includes a model with the MODEL_D identifier that is calculated by the determinate equation method and contains more than one input variable.
Add links to the Metabase, Ms system assemblies.

After executing the example the model calculates values of the first input variable taking into account empty values increased by values of the second input variable.
Expression 1:
average({Brazil|BCA}, SetPeriod(2000,2010))
Result: average of observations of the Brazil|BCA series is calculated from 2000 to 2010.
Use: it can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and in formulas of attribute-based models of modeling container.
Expression 2:
average(X1,X2,False)
Result: average of points of the X1 and X2 factors is calculated taking into account empty values.
Use: it can be used in model variable-based formulas of modeling container.
Expression 3:
average(1, 2, 3, 4)
Result: 2.5.
Application: it can be used in any expressions.
