ifail: Type: System..::..Int32%
On exit: $ifail = 0$ unless the method detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see [Error Indicators and Warnings]).

Description

The input data consist of

n

observations for each of

m

variables, given as an array

[x_{i j}], i = 1, 2, \dots, n (n \geq 2), j = 1, 2, \dots, m (m \geq 2),

where

x_{i j}

is the

i

th observation on the

j

th variable.

The quantities calculated are:

(a)

Means:

{\bar{x}}_{j} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_{i j}, j = 1, 2, \dots, m .

(b)

Standard deviations:

s_{j} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n - 1} \sum_{i = 1}^{n} {(x_{i j} - {\bar{x}}_{j})}^{2}}, j = 1, 2, \dots, m .

(c)

Sums of squares and cross-products of deviations from means:

S_{j k} = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} (x_{i j} - {\bar{x}}_{j}) (x_{i k} - {\bar{x}}_{k}), j, k = 1, 2, \dots, m .

(d)

Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients:

R_{j k} = \frac{S_{j k}}{\sqrt{S_{j j} S_{k k}}}, j, k = 1, 2, \dots, m .

S_{j j}

S_{k k}

is zero,

R_{j k}

is set to zero.

References

None.

Error Indicators and Warnings

Errors or warnings detected by the method:

Some error messages may refer to parameters that are dropped from this interface (LDX, LDSSP, LDR) In these cases, an error in another parameter has usually caused an incorrect value to be inferred.

$ifail = 1$

On entry,

n < 2

$ifail = 2$

On entry,

m < 2

$ifail = -9000$: An error occured, see message report.
$ifail = -6000$: Invalid Parameters $〈value〉$
$ifail = -4000$: Invalid dimension for array $〈value〉$
$ifail = -8000$: Negative dimension for array $〈value〉$
$ifail = -6000$: Invalid Parameters $〈value〉$

Accuracy

g02ba does not use additional precision arithmetic for the accumulation of scalar products, so there may be a loss of significant figures for large

n

Parallelism and Performance

None.

Further Comments

The time taken by g02ba depends on

n

and

m

The method uses a two-pass algorithm.

Example

This example reads in a set of data consisting of five observations on each of three variables. The means, standard deviations, sums of squares and cross-products of deviations from means, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients for all three variables are then calculated and printed.
