mstdTopN

Syntax

mstdTopN(X, S, window, top, [ascending=true], [tiesMethod='oldest'])

Please see mTopN for the parameters and windowing logic.

Details

Within a sliding window of given length (measured by the number of elements), the function stably sorts X by S in the order specified by ascending, then calculates the unbiased sample standard deviation of the first top elements.

Examples

X = 1..7
S = 0.3 0.5 0.1 0.1 0.5 0.2 0.4
mstdTopN(X, S, 4, 2)
// output
