sample_var: Compute the sample variance
In mspeekenbrink/sdam-r: Statistics: Data Analysis and Modelling
sample_var R Documentation
Compute the sample variance
Description
sample_var computes the sample variance, i.e. the sum of squared deviations of x from the mean divided by the total number of observations. This is in contrast to var, which computes an unbiased estimate of the variance (i.e. it divides the sum of squared deviations by n - 1).
Usage
sample_var(x, na.rm = FALSE)
Arguments
x
Numeric vector
na.rm
(logical) Should missing values be removed?
Value
A single numeric value equal to the sample variance
Examples
data(anchoring)
sample_var(anchoring$everest_feet)
