Syntax

DevSq(Values: Array): Double;

Parameters

Values, The set of values whose squared deviations are summed up.

Description

The DevSq method returns the sum of data points' squared deviations from their mean.

Example

Sub Main;

Var

st: Statistics;

d0: Double;

y: Array Of Double;

Begin

y := New Double[10];

y[00] := 1.6;

y[01] := 1.7;

y[02] := 1.8;

y[03] := 1.9;

y[04] := 2;

y[05] := 2.1;

y[06] := 2.2;

y[07] := 2.3;

y[08] := 2.4;

y[09] := 2.8;

st := New Statistics.Create;

d0 := st.DevSq(y);

Debug.WriteLine("Sum of squared deviations: " + d0.ToString);

End Sub Main;
