List of Calc Statistical functions

The Statistical functions allow statistical analysis of data.

Measures of Central Tendency
AVEDEV Returns the average of the absolute deviations of values from their mean.
AVERAGE Returns the average of the arguments, ignoring text.
AVERAGEA Returns the average of the arguments, including text (valued as 0).
COUNT Counts the numbers in the list of arguments, ignoring text entries.
COUNTA Counts the non-empty values in the list of arguments.
GEOMEAN Returns the geometric mean of the arguments.
HARMEAN Returns the harmonic mean of the arguments.
MEDIAN Returns the median of a set of numbers.
MODE Returns the most common value in a set of numbers.
TRIMMEAN Returns the mean of a set of numbers, ignoring a proportion

of high and low values.

Measures of dispersion / spread
DEVSQ Returns the sum of squares of deviations from the mean.
KURT Returns the kurtosis, a measure of how peaked or flat a distribution is.
SKEW Returns a measure of how skewed a distribution is.

the given values.

the regression.
