LlListStatistics

Function notes

If a list entry type is not a float or an integer it is silently ignored.

Return value notes

Returns a float that is the result of performing statistical aggregate function operation on src.

Specification

Constant		Description
LIST_STAT_RANGE	0	Calculates the range.
LIST_STAT_MIN	1	Calculates the smallest number.
LIST_STAT_MAX	2	Calculates the largest number.
LIST_STAT_MEAN	3	Calculates the mean (average).
LIST_STAT_MEDIAN	4	Calculates the median number.
LIST_STAT_STD_DEV	5	Calculates the standard deviation.
LIST_STAT_SUM	6	Calculates the sum.
LIST_STAT_SUM_SQUARES	7	Calculates the sum of the squares.
LIST_STAT_NUM_COUNT	8	Determines the number of float and integer elements.
LIST_STAT_GEOMETRIC_MEAN	9	Calculates the geometric mean.

Notes

Given that this operation ignores any non-numbers in a list, it can be used to tell you, in a mixed list, how many of the elements in a list are numbers (when used with the LIST_STAT_NUM_COUNT parameter.)
