Introduction

Having a lot of data is awesome, but you only get to see the bigger picture once you start running calculations with them. gambas provides several statistics functions that you can use for your data.

Every statistics function are StatsFunc's that accept a []interface{} and returns a StatsResult.

type StatsFunc func(dataset []interface{}) StatsResult

Here is the definition of StatsResult.

type StatsResult struct {
    UsedFunc string
    Result   float64
    Err      error
}

StatsResult holds the results of calculation from a statistics function such as Mean or Median.

  • UsedFunc denotes which function has been used.
  • Result is the result of the calculation.
  • Err holds any errors that have been returned during the calculation.
