sample_sd {sdamr} | R Documentation |
Compute the sample standard deviation
Description
sample_sd
computes the sample standard deviation, i.e. the square root of the sum of squared deviations of x
from the mean divided by the total number of observations. This is in contrast to sd
, which computes an unbiased estimate of the standard deviation (i.e. it divides the sum of squared deviations by n - 1).
Usage
