    Input Arguments

    expand all

    x — vector of numeric data. Vector.

    Vector containing strictly numerical data.

    Data Types: double

    Optional Arguments

    w — weights. Vector or scalar.

    Vector of the same length of x containing the weights (frequencies) assigned to each observation or scalar which specifies the normalization to use.

    If w=1 the denominator of the index corresponds to the number of observations.

    If w=0 (default), the denominator of the index corresponds to the number of observations minus 1, If w is not supplied we assume that all observations have weight equal to 1 and the index is normalized with length(x)-1.

    Example: 1:10

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    out —detailed output to compute the index. Table

    Table with n+1 rows (where n is the length of x) containing what is shown in the GUI. Last row contains the totals.
