avg
Computes the average of all the input points regardless of dimensionality.
Synopsis
function avg(
x : numeric
)
Arguments
- x
- An array of one or more numeric values of any dimensionality.
Description
Returns the average of the input regardless of
dimensionality. avg ignores missing values
(x@_FillValue). To determine the number of data points used to
calculate the average use:
N = num(.not.ismissing(x))
Example
The following is a simplistic example that demonstrates how
avg works. Try running this example and print out the
values to get a better idea of how avg works.
begin
;
; Create example array
;
a = (/ (/1,2,3/), (/4,5,6/), (/7,-999,9/)/)
a@_FillValue = -999
;
; Compute average
;
average = avg(a)
n = num(.not.ismissing(a))
print(average)
print(n)
end
