.FloatArrayStat.Qn (gb.gsl)

Function Qn ( [ Sorted As Boolean, Bias As Boolean, Buffer As Float[], BufferInt As Integer[] ] ) As Float

This function returns the Qn statistic of the current array data. The elements of the array must be in ascending numerical order.

This function requires two additional workspace buffers.

  • Sorted tells if the data is already sorted. If FALSE, then an internal sorted copy of the current array will be done.

  • If Bias is TRUE, then the returned value will be multiplied by a correction factor to make it unbiased.

  • Buffer is the first workspace buffer. It is a float array whose size must be 3 times the size of the current data array.

  • BufferInt is the second workspace buffer. It is an integer array whose size must be 5 times the size of the current data array.
