SS(dataset [,meanofset])

blk2blue.jpg

SS Returns the sum of the squared differences between each data set value and the data set's mean.
dataset The label of a QUEUE with its first component field defined as a REAL.
meanofset A numeric constant or variable representing the average of the data set's values (optional).

SS computes the sum of the squared differences between each data set value and the data set's mean. The function operates on the numeric set defined by all the entries in the first component of the designated QUEUE (dataset). The computation is a significant factor in several statistical formulas.

The optional parameter helps to optimize the function. If not provided, the mean value is computed internally by the function.

The passed data set does not have to be sorted. The function copies the passed set. The passed data set is unchanged.

Return DataType:     REAL

Example:

StatSetX  QUEUE,PRE()

X          REAL

         END

SumOFSquaresX   REAL

CODE

FREE(StatSetX)                     !free the QUEUE

CLEAR(STADAT:RECORD)               !clear the record buffer

STADAT:Id = STA:Id                 !prime the record buffer

STADAT:ItemNumber = 1

SET(STADAT:KeyIdItemNumber,STADAT:KeyIdItemNumber !position file pointer

LOOP                               !load the QUEUE

  NEXT(StatisticsData)             !read next record

  IF ERRORCODE() OR STADAT:Id NOT = STA:Id

    BREAK

  ELSE

    StatSetX:X = STADAT:X          !load the QUEUE buffer

    ADD(StatSetX)                  !add to the QUEUE

  END

END

SumOFSquaresX = SS(StatSetX)       !call SS
