STDEV {ExcelFunctionsR}

Basic STDEV function from excel

Description

It acts similiarly to Excel's STDEV function. It calculates the standard deviation from the numbers you give it.

Usage

STDEV(
  number1,
  number2 = NA,
  number3 = NA,
  number4 = NA,
  number5 = NA,
  number6 = NA,
  number7 = NA,
  number8 = NA,
  number9 = NA,
  number10 = NA,
  number11 = NA,
  number12 = NA,
  number13 = NA,

From which numbers should the function calculate the standard deviation. Sames goes for other number arguments as well. If you want to specify several numbers simply go: STDEV(2,2,1,2). No need to put them into a vector.

Value

In this example we simply calculate standard deviation of the given numbers. Function will always return numeric class.

Examples

STDEV(2,1,3,1)
