IStatistics.Large

Syntax

Large(Data: Array; Position: Integer): Double;

Parameters

Data is an array of data for which the k-th greatest value is calculated. Array value must be greater than zero (0);

Position is a position (starting from the greatest one) in a data array. Available values are taken from the range (0, length Data].

Description

The Large method returns the k-th greatest value from a data set. This function enables the user to select a value by its relative position.

Example

To execute the example, add a link to the Stat system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    st: Statistics;
    d0: Double;
    y: Array Of Double;
Begin
    y := New Double[7];
    y[00] := 6;
    y[01] := 7;
    y[02] := 9;
    y[03] := 15;
    y[04] := 21;
    y[05] := 24;
    y[06] := 25;
    st := New Statistics.Create;
    d0 := st.Large(y,3);
    Debug.WriteLine("The 3rd greatest value: " + d0.ToString);
    d0 := st.Large(y,6);
    Debug.WriteLine("The 6-th greatest value: " + d0.ToString);
End Sub UserProc;

Executing the example shows the results in the console window:
