cts:variance

cts:variance(
   $range-index as cts:reference,
   [$options as xs:string*],
   [$query as cts:query?],
   [$forest-ids as xs:unsignedLong*]
) as xs:double?

Summary

Returns a frequency-weighted sample variance given a value lexicon. This function works like math:variance except each item in the lexicon is counted cts:frequency times. This function performs the calculation in parallel in all data nodes then aggregates the values. The function returns the empty sequence if the lexicon contains no value.

Parameters
range-index	Reference to a range index. The type of the range index must be numeric.
options	Same as the "options" parameter in `cts:aggregate`.
query	Same as the "query" parameter in `cts:aggregate`.
forest-ids	Same as the "forest-ids" parameter in `cts:aggregate`.

Example

xquery version "1.0-ml";

(:
   This query assumes an int range index
   is configured in the database. It
   generates some sample data and then
   performs the aggregation in a separate
   transaction.
