COLΣ

Command

Type:

Description:

Column Sigma Command: Specifies the independent-variable and dependent-variable columns of

 

the current statistics matrix (the reserved variable ΣDAT).

 

COLΣ combines the functionality of XCOL and YCOL. The independent-variable column

 

number xxcol is stored as the first parameter in the reserved variable ΣPAR (the default is 1). The

 

dependent-variable column number xycol is stored as the second parameter in the reserved variable

 

ΣPAR (the default is 2).

 

COLΣ accepts and stores noninteger values, but subsequent commands that use these two

 

parameters in ΣPAR will cause errors.

Access:

…µCOLΣ

Input/Output:

Level 2/Argument 1

Level 1/Argument 2

Level 1/Item 1

 

 

 

xcol

ycol

Example: 2 5 COLΣ sets column 2 in ΣDAT as the independent-variable column, sets column 5 as the dependent-variable column, and stores 2 and 5 as the first and second elements in ΣPAR.

COMB

Type: Function

Description: Combinations Function: Returns the number of possible combinations of n items taken m at a time. The following formula is used:

n!

C , = ------------------------------

n m m! ⋅ (n m)!

The arguments n and m must each be less than 1012. If n<m, zero is returned.
