Function Result Description
mean_n(LIST) Number Returns the mean value from a list of numeric elds or null if
all of the eld values are null.
sdev_n(LIST) Number Returns the standard deviation from a list of numeric elds
or null if all of the eld values are null.
Trigonometric Functions

All of the functions in this section either take an angle as an argument or return one as a result. In

both cases, the units of the angle (radians or degrees) are controlled by the setting of the relevant

stream option.

Function Result Description
arccos(NUM) Real Computes the arccosine of the specied angle.
arccosh(NUM)Real Computes the hyperbolic arccosine of the specied angle.
arcsin(NUM) Real Computes the arcsine of the specied angle.
arcsinh(NUM) Real Computes the hyperbolic arcsine of the specied angle.
arctan(NUM) Real Computes the arctangent of the specied angle.
arctan2(NUM_Y,
NUM_X) Real
Computes the arctangent of NUM_Y / NUM_X and uses the
signs of the two numbers to derive quadrant information. The
result isa real in the range - pi < ANGLE <= pi (radians) – 180 <
ANGLE< = 180 (degrees)
arctanh(NUM) Real Computes the hyperbolic arctangent of the speci��ed angle.
cos(NUM) Real Computes the cosine of the specied angle.
cosh(NUM) Real Computes the hyperbolic cosine of the specied angle.
pi Real Thisco nstant is the best real approximation to pi.
sin(NUM) Real Computes the sine of the specied angle.
sinh(NUM) Real Computes the hyperbolic sine of the specied angle.
tan(NUM) Real Computes the tangent of the specied angle.
tanh(NUM) Real Computes the hyperbolic tangent of the specied angle.
Probability Functions

Probability functions return probabilities based on various distributions, such as the probability

that a value from Student’s tdistribution will be less than a specic value.

Function Result Description
cdf_chisq(NUM, DF) Real
Returnsth e probability that a value from the chi-square
distribution with the specied degrees of freedom will
be less than the specied number.
cdf_f(NUM,DF1 , DF2) Real
Returns the probability that a value from the F
distribution, with degrees of freedom DF1 and DF2,
will be less than the specied number.
