StandardDeviation(String,Series) Method

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

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Shared Function StandardDeviation( _
   ByVal elementName As String, _
   ByVal s As Series _
) As Element

[C#]
public static Element StandardDeviation( 
   string elementName,
   Series s
);

Parameters

elementName

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

s

A statistical series.

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.
