# stdev

> Calculate the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] of an array.

<section class="intro">

</section>

<!-- /.intro -->

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/array/stdev' );
```

#### stdev( x\[, correction] )

Computes the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] of an array.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];

var v = stdev( x );
// returns ~2.0817
```

The function has the following parameters:

- **x**: input array.
- **correction**: degrees of freedom adjustment. Setting this parameter to a value other than `0` has the effect of adjusting the divisor during the calculation of the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] according to `N-c` where `N` corresponds to the number of array elements and `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment. When computing the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] of a population, setting this parameter to `0` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data constituting an entire population). When computing the unbiased sample [standard deviation][standard-deviation], setting this parameter to `1` is the standard choice (i.e., the provided array contains data sampled from a larger population; this is commonly referred to as Bessel's correction). Default: `1.0`.

By default, the function computes the sample [standard deviation][standard-deviation]. To use adjust the degrees of freedom when computing the [standard deviation][standard-deviation], provide a `correction` argument.

```javascript
var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];

var v = stdev( x, 0.0 );
// returns ~1.6997
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

- If provided an empty array, the function returns `NaN`.
- If `N - c` is less than or equal to `0` (where `c` corresponds to the provided degrees of freedom adjustment), both functions return `NaN`.
- The function supports array-like objects having getter and setter accessors for array element access (e.g., [`@stdlib/array/base/accessor`][@stdlib/array/base/accessor]).

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/discrete-uniform' );
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/array/stdev' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, -50, 50, {
'dtype': 'float64'
});
console.log( x );

var v = stdev( x );
console.log( v );
```

{{alias}}( x[, correction] )
Computes the standard deviation of an array.

If provided an empty array, the function returns `NaN`.

Parameters
----------
x: Array<number>|TypedArray
Input array.

correction: number (optional)
Degrees of freedom adjustment. Setting this parameter to a value other
than `0` has the effect of adjusting the divisor during the calculation
of the standard deviation according to `N-c` where `N` corresponds to
the number of array elements and `c` corresponds to the provided
degrees of freedom adjustment. When computing the standard deviation of
a population, setting this parameter to `0` is the standard choice
(i.e., the provided array contains data constituting an entire
population). When computing the unbiased sample standard deviation,
setting this parameter to `1` is the standard choice (i.e., the
provided array contains data sampled from a larger population; this is
commonly referred to as Bessel's correction). Default: `1.0`.

Returns
-------
out: number
The standard deviation.

Examples
--------
> var x = [ 1.0, -2.0, 2.0 ];
> {{alias}}( x, 1.0 )
~2.0817
