variance(
list
[
, freqlist

)
⇒
expression
Returns the variance of
list
.
Each
freqlist
element counts the number of
consecutive occurrences of the
corresponding element in
list
.
Note:
list
must contain at least two elements.

⇒
matrix
Returns a row vector containing the variance
of each column in
matrix1
.
Each
freqmatrix
element counts the number
of consecutive occurrences of the
corresponding element in
matrix1
.
Note:
matrix1
must contain at least two
rows.

)
⇒
expression
Returns
trueResult
,
falseResult
, or
unknownResult
, depending on whether
condition
is true, false, or unknown. Returns
the input if there are too few arguments to
specify the appropriate result.
Omit both
falseResult
and
unknownResult
to
make an expression defined only in the
region where
condition
is true.
