dotnetCHARTING Namespace > StatisticalEngine Class > StandardDeviation Method : StandardDeviation(String,SeriesCollection) Method
The name of the series which will be displayed on the chart, i.e. its label.
A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.
StandardDeviation(String,SeriesCollection) Method
Calculates the sample standard variance of the series's elements YValues.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function StandardDeviation( _
   ByVal seriesName As String, _

'Usage
 
Dim seriesName As String

Dim value As Series
 
value = StatisticalEngine.StandardDeviation(seriesName, sc)
public static Series StandardDeviation(

   SeriesCollection sc

Parameters

seriesName
The name of the series which will be displayed on the chart, i.e. its label.
sc
A collection of series objects. For example, to evaluate this indicator for two series you will need to pass a series collection containing this two series.
Remarks

Remark: The units of the Sample Standard Deviation will correspond to the units used by the observations (i.e. the units of the members of the data set). In many instances it is convenient that the units used for the observations corresponds to the units used for a measure of the sets deviations. This differs from the Variance(Series) in which the deviation is measured in units which are the squares of the units of the observations.

Requirements
