<h3 class="section">20.10 Examples</h3>
<p>Here is a basic example of how to use the statistical functions:
<pre class="example"><pre class="verbatim"> #include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_statistics.h>
int
main(void)
{
double data[5] = {17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6};
double mean, variance, largest, smallest;
mean = gsl_stats_mean(data, 1, 5);
variance = gsl_stats_variance(data, 1, 5);
largest = gsl_stats_max(data, 1, 5);
smallest = gsl_stats_min(data, 1, 5);
printf ("The dataset is %g, %g, %g, %g, %g\n",
data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3], data[4]);
printf ("The sample mean is %g\n", mean);
printf ("The estimated variance is %g\n", variance);
printf ("The largest value is %g\n", largest);
printf ("The smallest value is %g\n", smallest);
return 0;
}
</pre></pre>
<p>The program should produce the following output,
<pre class="example"><pre class="verbatim"> The dataset is 17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6
The sample mean is 16.54
The estimated variance is 4.2984
The largest value is 18.3
The smallest value is 12.6
</pre></pre>
<p>Here is an example using sorted data,
<pre class="example"><pre class="verbatim"> #include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_sort.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_statistics.h>
int
main(void)
{
double data[5] = {17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6};
double median, upperq, lowerq;
printf ("Original dataset: %g, %g, %g, %g, %g\n",
data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3], data[4]);
gsl_sort (data, 1, 5);
printf ("Sorted dataset: %g, %g, %g, %g, %g\n",
data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3], data[4]);
median
= gsl_stats_median_from_sorted_data (data,
1, 5);
upperq
= gsl_stats_quantile_from_sorted_data (data,
1, 5,
0.75);
lowerq
= gsl_stats_quantile_from_sorted_data (data,
1, 5,
0.25);
printf ("The median is %g\n", median);
printf ("The upper quartile is %g\n", upperq);
printf ("The lower quartile is %g\n", lowerq);
return 0;
}
</pre></pre>
<p>This program should produce the following output,
<pre class="example"><pre class="verbatim"> Original dataset: 17.2, 18.1, 16.5, 18.3, 12.6
Sorted dataset: 12.6, 16.5, 17.2, 18.1, 18.3
The median is 17.2
The upper quartile is 18.1
The lower quartile is 16.5
