Provides additional statistics to be calculated for the chosen variates.
Options
You can choose one or more of the following statistics to be calculated for the chosen variates:
Standard error of mean | Skewness |
Standard error of variance | Standard error of skewness |
Coefficient of variation | Kurtosis |
Corrected sum of squares | Standard error of kurtosis |
Uncorrected sum of squares |
Method
Standard error of variance is calculated as:
√((N (M4 – 4 M1 M3 + 6 M1 M1 M2 – 3 M14)/(N-1) – (N (M2 – M1 M1)/(N-1))2)/N)
Skewness is calculated as:
(M3 – 3 M1 M2 + 2 M13 ) / (M2 – M1 M1)3/2
Standard error of skewness is calculated as:
√({6N×(N-1)}/{(N-2)×(N+1)×(N+3)})
Kurtosis is calculated as:
(M4 – 4 M1 M3 + 6 M12 M2 – 3 M14)/(M2 – M1 M1)2 – 3
Standard error of kurtosis is calculated as:
√({24N(N-1)2}/{(N-2)(N-3)(N+5)(N+3)})
where
Mi = ∑ xi / N
and
N = number of observations
