Variance
5-508
element y
ij
 containing the variance of element u
ij
 over all inputs since the last 
reset. For frame-based inputs, the output is a frame-based M-by-N matrix with 
each element y
ij
 containing the variance of the jth column over all inputs since 
the last reset, up to and including element u
ij
 of the current input.
If the 
Reset port parameter is set to Non-zero sample, the optional Rst port 
is enabled and the block resets the running variance when the scalar input at 
the 
Rst port is nonzero. (The Rst port can be disabled by setting the Reset port 
parameter to 
None.)
As in basic operation, length-M 1-D vector inputs and sample-based length-M 
row vector inputs are both treated as M-by-1 column vectors.
Example The Variance block in the model below calculates the running variance of a 
frame-based 3-by-2 (two-channel) matrix input,
u. The running variance is 
reset at t=2 by an impulse to the block’s 
Rst port.
The Variance block has the following settings:
•
Running variance = 
•
Reset port = Non-zero sample
The Signal From Workspace block has the following settings:
•
Signal = u
•Sample time = 1/3
•Samples per frame = 3
where
u = [6 1 3 -7 2 5 8 0 -1 -3 2 1;1 3 9 2 4 1 6 2 5 0 4 17]'
The Discrete Impulse block has the following settings:
•
Delay (samples) = 2
