The MEAN function computes the mean of a numeric vector. MEAN calls the IDL function MOMENT.
Result = MEAN( X [, /DOUBLE] [, /NAN] )
Returns the average value of a set of numbers.
An n-element, integer, double-precision or floating-point vector.
If this keyword is set, computations are done in double precision arithmetic.
Set this keyword to cause the routine to check for occurrences of the IEEE floating-point values NaN or Infinity in the input data. Elements with the value NaN or Infinity are treated as missing data. (See Special Floating-Point Values for more information on IEEE floating-point values.)
; Define the n-element vector of sample data: x = [65, 63, 67, 64, 68, 62, 70, 66, 68, 67, 69, 71, 66, 65, 70] ; Compute the average: result = MEAN(x) ; Print the result: PRINT, result
IDL prints:
66.7333
