Standard Deviation

Global Algorithm - One-Dimensional Algorithm

Standard Deviation algorithm computes the standard deviation of the input data sequence.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Constraint	Description	Remarks
$Y$	$Y \in \mathbb R^N$	$N \in \mathbb{N}$	Input data vector of length $N$

Output Parameters

Parameter	Type	Constraint	Description	Remarks
$\sigma$	$\sigma \in \mathbb R$		Standard deviation of data values available in $Y$	The result is sensitive to improper values such as ‘nan’, ‘inf’, ‘null, ‘etc.
