std(itr; corrected::Bool=true, mean=nothing[, dims])

Compute the sample standard deviation of collection itr.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's standard deviation under the assumption that each entry of itr is a sample drawn from the same unknown distribution, with the samples uncorrelated. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sqrt(sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false with n the number of elements in itr.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the standard deviation over dimensions, and means may contain means for each dimension of itr.

A pre-computed mean may be provided. When dims is specified, mean must be an array with the same shape as mean(itr, dims=dims) (additional trailing singleton dimensions are allowed).

stdm(itr, mean; corrected::Bool=true[, dims])

Compute the sample standard deviation of collection itr, with known mean(s) mean.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's standard deviation under the assumption that each entry of itr is a sample drawn from the same unknown distribution, with the samples uncorrelated. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sqrt(sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false with n the number of elements in itr.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the standard deviation over dimensions. In that case, mean must be an array with the same shape as mean(itr, dims=dims) (additional trailing singleton dimensions are allowed).

var(itr; corrected::Bool=true, mean=nothing[, dims])

Compute the sample variance of collection itr.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's variance under the assumption that each entry of itr is a sample drawn from the same unknown distribution, with the samples uncorrelated. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1)). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false where n is the number of elements in itr.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the variance over dimensions.

A pre-computed mean may be provided. When dims is specified, mean must be an array with the same shape as mean(itr, dims=dims) (additional trailing singleton dimensions are allowed).

varm(itr, mean; dims, corrected::Bool=true)

Compute the sample variance of collection itr, with known mean(s) mean.

The algorithm returns an estimator of the generative distribution's variance under the assumption that each entry of itr is a sample drawn from the same unknown distribution, with the samples uncorrelated. For arrays, this computation is equivalent to calculating sum((itr .- mean(itr)).^2) / (length(itr) - 1). If corrected is true, then the sum is scaled with n-1, whereas the sum is scaled with n if corrected is false with n the number of elements in itr.

If itr is an AbstractArray, dims can be provided to compute the variance over dimensions. In that case, mean must be an array with the same shape as mean(itr, dims=dims) (additional trailing singleton dimensions are allowed).

If corrected is true (the default), computes $\frac{1}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar x) (y_i-\bar y)^*$ where $*$ denotes the complex conjugate and n = length(x) = length(y). If corrected is false, computes $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar x) (y_i-\bar y)^*$.

cov(X::AbstractVecOrMat, Y::AbstractVecOrMat; dims::Int=1, corrected::Bool=true)

quantile!([q::AbstractArray, ] v::AbstractVector, p; sorted=false, alpha::Real=1.0, beta::Real=alpha)

Compute the quantile(s) of a vector v at a specified probability or vector or tuple of probabilities p on the interval [0,1]. If p is a vector, an optional output array q may also be specified. (If not provided, a new output array is created.) The keyword argument sorted indicates whether v can be assumed to be sorted; if false (the default), then the elements of v will be partially sorted in-place.

By default (alpha = beta = 1), quantiles are computed via linear interpolation between the points ((k-1)/(n-1), v[k]), for k = 1:n where n = length(v). This corresponds to Definition 7 of Hyndman and Fan (1996), and is the same as the R and NumPy default.

The keyword arguments alpha and beta correspond to the same parameters in Hyndman and Fan, setting them to different values allows to calculate quantiles with any of the methods 4-9 defined in this paper:

• Def. 4: alpha=0, beta=1
• Def. 5: alpha=0.5, beta=0.5
• Def. 6: alpha=0, beta=0 (Excel PERCENTILE.EXC, Python default, Stata altdef)
• Def. 7: alpha=1, beta=1 (Julia, R and NumPy default, Excel PERCENTILE and PERCENTILE.INC, Python 'inclusive')
• Def. 8: alpha=1/3, beta=1/3
• Def. 9: alpha=3/8, beta=3/8

quantile(itr, p; sorted=false, alpha::Real=1.0, beta::Real=alpha)

Compute the quantile(s) of a collection itr at a specified probability or vector or tuple of probabilities p on the interval [0,1]. The keyword argument sorted indicates whether itr can be assumed to be sorted.

Samples quantile are defined by Q(p) = (1-γ)*x[j] + γ*x[j+1], where $x[j]$ is the j-th order statistic, and γ is a function of j = floor(n*p + m), m = alpha + p*(1 - alpha - beta) and g = n*p + m - j.

By default (alpha = beta = 1), quantiles are computed via linear interpolation between the points ((k-1)/(n-1), v[k]), for k = 1:n where n = length(itr). This corresponds to Definition 7 of Hyndman and Fan (1996), and is the same as the R and NumPy default.
