- 3 minute(s) read
Computes the standard deviation, variance, and coefficients of variation values of a univariate or multivariate (vector) time series. Wire data to the Xt input to determine the polymorphic instance to use or manually select the instance.

Inputs/Outputs
Xt
—
Xt specifies the multivariate (vector) time series. Each column of the 2D array represents a vector at certain time.
weighting
—
weighting specifies which type of standard deviation and variance values to calculate. Options include Sample and Population. The default is Sample (N-1).
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
standard deviation
—
standard deviation returns the vector standard deviation value of the multivariate (vector) time series.
variance
—
variance returns the vector variance value of the multivariate (vector) time series.
coefficients of variation (%)
—
coefficients of variation returns the vector coefficients of variation value of the multivariate (vector) time series.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
TSA Deviation and Variance Details
This VI calculates the standard deviation and variance values according to the following equations:


where m is the arithmetic mean, s² is variance, s is standard deviation, n is the number of time series Xt. w = n when weighting is set to Population and w = (n-1) when weighting is set to Sample.
This VI calculates the coefficients of variation according to the following equation:
