where,
is array of integers or reference to the cells containing array,
is a method that performs the analysis by Columns or Rows,
represents the confidence level for mean of data points and is between 0 to 100,
represents the Kth largest value for each range of data,
represents the Kth smallest value for each range of data,
is a logical value that determines if the first row has any label,
is a logical value that determines how the output should be displayed.
DESCRIPTIVESTATISTICS() calculates a range of statistical measurements and summarizes them into a table.
Description
DESCRIPTIVESTATISTICS(Array, GroupBy, ConfidenceLevel, KthLargest, KthSmallest, IsFirstRowLabels, NewTableFlag)
- can be numbers or can be names, arrays or references containing numbers.
- Values containing text, logical values or empty cells are ignored.
- Argument can be "Rows" or "Columns".
- If < '0' or > '100', Calci displays an error message.
- If < '0' or > 'Length of array', Calci displays an error message.
- can be a logical value TRUE or FALSE.
- can be a logical value TRUE or FALSE. If omitted, Calci assumes it to be TRUE.
- If is TRUE, output is displayed on a new ZSpace cube. If is FALSE, output is displayed on the same spreadsheet where command is written.
- If data is invalid, Calci displays NaN error message.
ZOS
- The syntax is to use this function in ZOS is
- For e.g., descriptivestatistics([[8,7,11,7,33],[8,8,11,18,37]],"columns",95,1,1,false,true)
