There is still no built-in stdev function in sqlite. However, you can define (as Alix has done) a user-defined aggregator function.

I was wondering if there was a built-in function in R that would compute the standard deviation for columns just like colMeans computes mean for every column. It would be simple enough to write my own mini function (a compound command that invokes things like apply with sd ), but I was wondering if there was already something I could use whilst also keeping my code looking clean.

In Python 2.7.1, you may calculate standard deviation using numpy.std() for: Population std: Just use numpy.std() with no additional arguments besides to your data list. numpy.std (< your-list >, ddof=1) The divisor used in calculations is N - ddof, where N represents the number of elements. By default ddof is zero.

To calculate standard deviation you can use this code. Taken directly from Calculate Standard Deviation of Double Variables in C# by Victor Chen. double average = doubleList.Average(); double sumOfDerivation = 0; foreach (double value in doubleList) sumOfDerivation += (value) * (value);

By default, numpy.std returns the population standard deviation, in which case np.std([0,1]) is correctly reported to be 0.5. If you are looking for the sample standard deviation, you can supply an optional ddof parameter to std(): >>> np.std([0, 1], ddof=1) 0.70710678118654757. ddof modifies the divisor of the sum of the squares of the samples ...

Similarly as the average computation I would like to compute the standard deviation of each column of the data file 'file.dat' and write it in a second column of the output file. Namely I would like an output file with the average in the first column and the standard deviation in the second column. I have been making different tests, like this one

The population standard deviation, generally notated by the Greek letter lower case sigma, is used when the data constitutes the complete population. It is difficult to answer your question directly -- sample or population -- because it is difficult to tell what you are working with: a sample or a population.

Runstats summaries can produce the mean, variance, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis in a single pass of data. We can use this to create your"running" version. from runstats import Statistics. stats = [Statistics() for num in range(len(data[0]))] for row in data: for index, val in enumerate(row):

Use axis=None. Since pandas 2.0.0, you can use axis=None to compute mean over the entire dataframe. For example: In a future version, you can use df.std(axis=None) to compute for standard deviation over the entire dataframe as well but as of pandas 2.2.0, @JohnE's answer — df.values.std(ddof=1) is still the best way to compute it.

1) Export the data with any calculated columns. 2) Reimport the data so that the calculated columns are also available in the power query editor. 3) Pivoted the data by months. 4) Replaced null values with 0s. 5) Unpivoted the data. 6) Close and apply the query.
