Variance

This function evaluates the variance of the Arcsin distribution PDF with given argument, defined by

In the example that follows, the variance is evaluated using values of the parameter from 0.1 up to 0.8 with a step equal to 0.1. The maximum number of precision digits, implicitly set to 17, may be changed through the <em> PRECISION </em> define.

Example 1

#include <codecogs/stats/dists/continuous/arcsin/variance.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
 
#define PRECISION 17
 
int main()
{
  std::cout << "The variance of the Arcsin distribution PDF with";
  std::cout << std::endl;
  std::cout << "a = {0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.7, 0.8} is" << std::endl;
  std::cout << std::endl;
  for (double a = 0.1; a < 0.81; a += 0.1)
  {
    std::cout << std::setprecision(1);
    std::cout << "a = " << std::setw(3) << a << " : ";
    std::cout << std::setprecision(PRECISION);
    std::cout << Stats::Dists::Continuous::Arcsin::variance(a);
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

Output

The variance of the Arcsin distribution PDF with
a = {0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.7, 0.8} is
 
a = 0.1 : 0.005000000000000001
a = 0.2 : 0.020000000000000004
a = 0.3 : 0.045000000000000012
a = 0.4 : 0.080000000000000016
a = 0.5 : 0.125
a = 0.6 : 0.17999999999999999
a = 0.7 : 0.24499999999999997
a = 0.8 : 0.31999999999999995
