Standard Deviation
The standard deviation of the data set. This can be interpreted as the RMS noise.
Standard Deviation and Variance Details:
The VI calculates the output values using the following equations.
n - 1
µ = SUM [ Xi / n ]
i = 0
where N is mean and n is the number of elements in X.
standard deviation = Q^2
n - 1
Q^2 = SUM [ ( Xi - N)^2 /( n - 1) ]
i = 0
where Q is variance, N is mean.
