List Standard Deviation
8min
this action computes the standard deviation, which measures the amount of variation or dispersation in the entire population of data points inputs & outputs \[ i ] list of numbers double (list) double (list) representing data points for calculating the standard deviation \[ o ] standard deviation double (single value) double (single value) representing the measure of variability in the data set derived from the input list the list standard deviation action uses the population standard deviation formula example usage drag the list standard deviation action from the community made folder to the canvas declare the variables to be used with the list standard deviation action assign the newly created variables save & run the process and then check instance to see the output use cases by analyzing the population standard deviation for page load times and response times, you can identify patterns that may cause slow or inconsistent user experiences, pinpointing potential performance bottlenecks tips when working with data representing an entire population (full population data), opt for the list standard deviation action to accurately measure the variability however, if you are dealing with a sample from a larger population, do not use the list standard deviation action creator franck the productivity lab
