pop_var R Documentation
Compute the population variance of a vector
Description
Computes the population variance as defined by
\sigma^2=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^N(x_i-\mu)^2
where \mu is the population mean (\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^Nx_i)
and N is the size of the population
Usage
pop_var(x)
Arguments
x
A numerical vector
Value
The population variance of this vector
Examples
pop_var(c(2, 3, 4, 5))
pop_var(rnorm(20, 1, 0))
