stdev

• stdev(alpha: number, beta: number): number

• Returns the standard deviation of a beta prime distribution.

  Notes

  • If alpha <= 0 or beta <= 2, the function returns NaN.

  Parameters

  • alpha: number

    first shape parameter

  • beta: number

    second shape parameter

  Returns number

  standard deviation

  Example

  var v = stdev( 1.0, 3.0 );
  // returns ~0.866

  Example

  var v = stdev( 4.0, 12.0 );
  // returns ~0.223

  Example

  var v = stdev( 8.0, 2.5 );
  // returns ~8.219

  Example

  var v = stdev( 8.0, 2.0 );
  // returns NaN

  Example

  var v = stdev( 1.0, -0.1 );
  // returns NaN

  Example

  var v = stdev( -0.1, 1.0 );
  // returns NaN

  Example

  var v = stdev( 2.0, NaN );
  // returns NaN

  Example

  var v = stdev( NaN, 2.0 );
  // returns NaN
