|
||||
Since there are two types of standard deviation, population and sample, you can use a flag to switch to population (sample is default).
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const standardDeviation = (arr, usePopulation) =>
|
||||
Math.sqrt(
|
||||
arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc.concat(Math.pow(val - arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0) / arr.length, 2)), [])
|
||||
const standardDeviation = (arr, usePopulation) => {
|
||||
const mean = arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0);
|
||||
return Math.sqrt(
|
||||
arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc.concat(Math.pow(val - mean / arr.length, 2)), [])
|
||||
.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0)
|
||||
/ (arr.length - (usePopulation ? 0 : 1))
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
// standardDeviation([10,2,38,23,38,23,21]) -> 13.284434142114991 (sample)
|
||||
// standardDeviation([10,2,38,23,38,23,21], true) -> 12.29899614287479 (population)

```
