StandardDeviation(String,SeriesCollection,ElementValue) Method

Calculates the sample standard variance of the series's elements values.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Shared Function StandardDeviation( _
   ByVal seriesName As String, _
   ByVal sc As SeriesCollection, _
   ByVal elementValue As ElementValue _
) As Series

[C#]
public static Series StandardDeviation( 
   string seriesName,
   SeriesCollection sc,
   ElementValue elementValue
);

Parameters

seriesName

The name of the series which will be displayed on the chart, i.e. its label.

sc

A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.

elementValue

Specifies the particular element value (for example High, Low, Close or Open of the FinancialEngine time series) which will be considered within this indicator evaluation. In particular, if you wish to use the element value high then you should pass the parameter High. In a similarly fashion if you wish to use the low, close or open, then you should pass the parameter Low, Close, Open, respectively.

Remarks

Remark: The units of the Sample Standard Deviation will correspond to the units used by the observations (i.e. the units of the members of the data set). In many instances it is convenient that the units used for the observations corresponds to the units used for a measure of the sets deviations. This differs from the Variance in which the deviation is measured in units which are the squares of the units of the observations.
