[section "BASIC COMMANDS"]
[list_begin definitions]
[call [cmd ::math::cov] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the coefficient of variation expressed as percent of two or
more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::integrate] [arg {list of xy value pairs}]]
Return the area under a "curve" defined by a set of x,y pairs and the
error bound as a list.
[call [cmd ::math::fibonacci] [arg n]]
Return the [arg n]'th Fibonacci number.
[call [cmd ::math::max] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the maximum of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::mean] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the mean, or "average" of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::min] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the minimum of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::product] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the product of one or more numeric values.
[call [cmd ::math::random] [opt [arg value1]] [opt [arg value2]]]
Return a random number. If no arguments are given, the number is a
floating point value between 0 and 1. If one argument is given, the
number is an integer value between 0 and [arg value1]. If two
arguments are given, the number is an integer value between
[arg value1] and [arg value2].
[call [cmd ::math::sigma] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the population standard deviation of two or more numeric
values.
[call [cmd ::math::stats] [arg value] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (as
percent) as a list.
[call [cmd ::math::sum] [arg value] [opt [arg {value ...}]]]
Return the sum of one or more numeric values.
