stdDev property

num stdDev

Returns the corrected sample standard deviation.

• The sample must contain at least 2 entries.
• The normalization constant for the corrected standard deviation is sample.length - 1.

Implementation

num get stdDev {
  if (sample.length < 2) {
    throw ExceptionOf<SampleStats>(
      message: 'Sample standard deviation can not be calculated.',
      invalidState: sample,
      expectedState: 'A sample with at least 2 entries.',
    );
  }
  if (_stdDev == null) {
    _stdDev = Lazy<double>(() => math.sqrt(
          sample.fold<num>(
                  0,
                  (sum, current) =>
                      sum + (current - mean) * (current - mean)) /
              (sample.length - 1),
        ));
    return _stdDev!();
  } else {
    return _stdDev!();
  }
