Standard Deviation in iOS Numbers

Hi! I want to know how to find standard deviation in numbers on iOS.

Dear lwo,
You can add two more channels.
One with mittelwert+standardabweichung/2
and one with mittelwert-standardabweichung/2 .
Then configure them to show only symbols and no line.
Color them red and choose a cross as symbol.
Be sure, the mittelwert channel is the first one in the array,
or the bars will hide the crosses.
Best regards,
Stefan Heinzl

Making a Bell Curve in Numbers or MS Office for MAC: I already have mean and standard deviation

I hope my question is a simple one with a simple answer: I have the results of a mid-term and the professor gave us the mean and standard deviation of the results of the exam from which he based our grades. I am a visual person and (to be honest) without having to put forth a lot of effort, I would like to see visually where I fall on this, admittedly, artificial curve. I have both Numbers and MS Office on my MacBook Pro. Is there an easy way to create a bell curve using these numbers? It seems like there should be since those are usually the only numbers needed. I just, honestly, don't want to do the tedious work myself.

Statistical functions including several which deal with normal distribution, are discussed in Chapter 10, Statistical Functions, of the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. This useful guide may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers '09. Go to chapter 10, or for a direct route, search 'normal distribution'
For what it's worth, you can find the formula for calculating the coordinates for the bell curve here: The-Normal-Distribution-Or-Bell-Curve

I need to chart a standard deviation of a moving average in Numbers

In order to complete my statistical analysis of a large ammount of performance data- I was to graph a +/- 2 standard deviation of a moving average AS A SHADED region on my charts. I tried to do this today for Four hours. HELP! PLEASE and thank you SO Much!

You stated:
I have the above charted with the $ values of gains
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. "
implying it is not correct. Since I don't understand what you are trying to do in general terms I don't know what the problem is.
Can you post some of the data (at least the set you are showing) so we have something to work with?
I made a graph like this:
But since I don't really understand what you want I don't know if this is correct or not.

Trying to figure out easiest formula to use in iOS Numbers

To all you smart function Guru's. Looking for help to see if this can be done.
All help will be greatly appreciated here. Using Numbers on the iPad.
My situation. In the "Pick Up" box I select a location from a drop down, it then puts in a numerical figure in the "HOE 1" box from the HOE Chart. (Easy part).
Now once I "Pick Up" I then select a "Drop Off" location (it will only be a few different locations) and want that to pick a numerical figure, depending on "Pick Up" and "Drop Off" location selected, from the HOE Chart and input the numerical value into HOE 2 box. This is the problem. I want it to look also at the "Pick Up" location to select the correct altitude for the "drop off". i.e. I depart my standard location and I pick up from Citrus Mem Hosp and I am going to Shands (as in the picture) I need it to select the Altitude from the HOE Chart that corresponds to the Drop Off leg (HOE 2).
Pick Up Location selects from B Column (HOE Chart) HOE 1 altitude is picked from D column (HOE Chart).
Drop Off HOE 2 would be picked from E, F or G Columns (F & G not completed yet) of the HOE Chart.
I am not a novice in using Excel or charts but am a novice when it comes to complex functions. Please spell out some of the function with your reply.
Again ALL Help is greatly appreciated.

Wayne,
Thanks for helping and I think you are on the right track. The formula works in iOS Numbers with a little tweaking with 1 problem. Why Apple can have the programs work the same is beyond me but hey, I am a Windows guy so I won't complain.
The problem is that, and its probably my fault in the way I asked. I need the Drop Off (Table "Location" B2) to select from the HOE Chart either Columns E, F, or G (possibly an H in the future) of the Pickup Locations ROW (Highlighted in Blue for this example)
example.
I leave my location (always the same) and go to Pickup Location = Citrus Mem Hosp. HOE 1 gives me altitude from highlighted Row + Column D (HOE Chart).
Now the complex part (to me)
I depart Citrus Mem Hosp (pick up location) and I am going to Shands (Column E (HOE Chart)) so I select that from my drop down list in "Drop Off" location(location table), I need HOE 2 (hoe table) box to give me the Altitude for Row (Citrus Mem Hosp) + Column E (Shands Column). If I select Orlando or Tampa Columns I would need it to select that altitude for the same Row.
I hope this explains it a little better and the pictures outline it a little more.
Your equation selected (once I input the correct Hospital name in my Drop off Location list) the altitude as if I was going from that location to GNV (Shands).
I hope this can be done as it would make our lives a lot easier and help us get in the air quicker.
Again Thank you for your help and time.
P.S. We just moved to Florida from Corpus Christi. Been up in your parts quite a few times.

Help on standard deviation please

I am writing a program to find standard deviation. Below is what I have so far "not much I know" but I have tried so don't get flame happy. It errors out and I have tried to fix it. I know the formula for standard deviaition but I can't seem to program it right. I also need to program the code to have three methods the main, an Average method, and a standard deviation method. I know how to make a method but I am having trouble on how to call them. Any help would be appreciated. I am not asking anyone to do my work for me just give me some tips. I would rather take a 0 on the assignement and learn later than turn in someone else's work becaue I will never pass my final if I do that.
import java.text.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class StandardDeviation{
     public static void main(String [] args){
     DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
     //Average Code Segment
          double [] values = {10,20,30,4,2}; //Assigns numbers to values
          double valueAverage,square, sum = 0;
          for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i ++){
               sum += values;
          valueAverage = sum / 5; //Computes Average
          System.out.println("Average is: " +valueAverage); //Displays average of values to test to see if it worked
//Deviation Code Segment
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; ++i)
double diff = values - valueAverage;
sum+= diff*diff;
System.out.println(+ Math.sqrt(sum/(values.length - 1))); // here I was trying to test to see if my formula worked
I get the following error
java:20: operator - cannot be applied to double[],double
double diff = values - valueAverage;

Okay this code works. Duffymo can you give me some pointers of writing this code using multiple methods? I can write the methods. I just have a hard time grasping the concept of calling them. I have had a hard time learning this in java. I also looked at some of your past posts on Standard Deviation I see what you are saying about the multiple methods. I know that I need a main method that would probably include the values. Then I would have a average method which would call the values to compute the average. Then I would have the StdDev method to compute the Standard deviation method. Any tips on where to begin on this?
mport java.text.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class StandardDeviation{
     public static void main(String [] args){
     DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
     //Average Code Segment
          double [] values = {10,20,30,4,2}; //Assigns numbers to values
          double valueAverage,square, sum = 0;
          for(int i = 0; i < values.length; i ++){
               sum += values;
          valueAverage = sum / 5; //Computes Average
          System.out.println("Average is: " +valueAverage); //Displays average of values
          //return valueAverage;
     //Deviation Code Segment
for (int i = 0; i < values.length; ++i)
double diff = values[i]- valueAverage;
sum+= diff*diff;
System.out.println("The Standard deviation is: "+ df.format(Math.sqrt(sum/(values.length - 1))));

Standard Deviation

I was wondering how you get the standard deviation to show up on the graph. I know where the button is to activate the standard deviation for a simple bar chart, however it doesn't show the actual deviation, it gave me uniform for each bar in the chart. How can I fix this? Also I know that the standard deviation isn't the same because I have seen what the chart I am making is supposed to look like.

cgord,
The problem is that Numbers doesn't know what your chart is supposed to look like. It's doing the best it can. There is no such thing as a standard deviation for a single point. Numbers considers that your series is a data set and calculates a mean and standard deviation for the set. It then applies this mean and deviation to the error bars, in a proper way, the same for each member of the set.
If your data set is actually a collection of dataset averages, each with a standard deviation of its own, then it might be appropriate to show each bar with it's own custom error bar, calculated elsewhere.
To make this work, you would display each bar's corresponding StdDev in the same row as the mean you are charting and then you would indicate to Numbers which column this custom error bar data is located.
Hope this helps.
Jerry

Adding standard deviation bars to graphs

I have composed a bar graph on numbers, and have already calculated the standard deviation of my data. How do I add the standard deviation lines to each bar on my graph? Thank you.

How to wire input to "Standard deviation & Variance VI"

The data that is being read is an I16 file in a 2 dim array. I need to compute to mean and standard deviation for all the numbers in the array. If I wire this 2 dim array to the input of the "Standard Deviation and Variance" vi function I get a broken wire. I've tried numerous functions to convert the data into a format but I get incorrect answers. I believe I need to convert all the rows and comumns into a series of numbers. There are 128 rows and 128 columns all with different numbers.

I'd suggest you use reshape array, to reshape the 2D array into a 1D array. See the attached LV 7 example.
I basically find the array size of the 2D array, multiply those dimensions sizes together and call reshape array. So, a 128x128 2D array becomes a 16K 1D array.

Is there a way to create a timestamp in iOS Numbers?

I would like a cell to automatically fill with the time that data is entered into another cell. Is this possible on Numbers for iPad?

Nevermind. After extensive searching it does not seem possible. But I did find out that there are "Today" and "Now" buttons on the data entry keypad in iOS numbers when entering a date, so that works just about as well.

Anyone know of a way to adjust the top and side MARGINS of a document printed from iOS numbers? The default margins are too wide. Need more working space.

Open the document,
Tap the Tools icon (upper right).

Drag the margins to the position you wish (the actual margin width sould display as you are doing this).

Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen, where would I find... ummm... let's say b200?

Using Apple IOS Numbers on my iPod Touch 4th gen,
where would I find... ummm... let's say b200??
I use the row numbers and column alphabet all the time, and yet they don't appear on the IOS5 version of Numbers.
This is kinda short-sighted, isn't it? On the desktop version they show up just by clicking on a cell.

Yeah, we in the real world call it stupid design.
I discovered a real stupid, stupid, stupid way of seeing the header columns and the row numbers. You need to select a cell, and double tap it and the keypad pops up, at the top of the keypad window is a black wide tool button-bar with "42", "a clock symbol ", a "T" and an "=" The "42" stands for numbers, stars dollar signs, ±, etc. The "Clock symbol" is to put in days, hours, minutes... that sort of thing. The "T" is for words. AND the "=" is for formulas and stuff. HOWever, when you selct the "=" the column header (ABC...etc) and the Row numerators appear! Done so you CAN select certain column and rows to include those certain cells for calculations.
What a crappy design, right? Must be an engineer without any human interface design skills whatsoever who designed THIS Numbers for ios GUI... you have to hunt through crap to find the simplest of spreadsheet information. A real human interface designer would have made it easy option (for aesthetic reasons or "save space" Hah. Save space on a spreadsheet... why do you think they call them SPREADsheets anyway?).
And while we are on the Stupid, Engineer-Minded GUI, whose idea was to make you shake your ios device to "UNDO"? There is plenty of space where the title "Spreedsheets" and 3 toolbar buttons are located at the top of the spreadsheet workspace for a simple ø <--(circle with a line symbol)
This Numbers for IOS needs a big retooling.

Standard deviation in graph (bar chart)

Dear Community,
I am looking for a solution for my measurement analysis software, programmed in LabVIEW 8.5:
I have an array (1D, double) with some data. This data is shown in an graph as a bar chart (attachment 1 & 2).
Aditionally, there is an other array (also 1D, double) with the standard deviation of my data in the upper array (both calculated via standard deviation and variance VI)
How can I integrate this standard deviation in my graph to be shown as (colored) error bars (attachment 3)
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Iwo

Standard Deviation in Graph

Does anyone know how insert standard deviation into a bar graph??
Thanks.

Ah. The key point that I was missing was that this works (for points or bars) only when the series is selected in the graph. Otherwise the boxes are not enabled.
