Working With Frequency Tables

Data parameters can now support frequency tables.

$p=data(10:1, 11:3, 12:5, 13:4, 14:3, 15:2)

This data parameter is equivalent to this frequency table.

DataFrequency
101
113
125
134
143
152

Each entry in the data parameter is the data value and the frequency, separated by a :.

All statistical commands honour the frequency information. For example {mean($p)} will return 12.61111

Frequency Table Calculator Commands

The definition of $p creates 6 data entries. If you reference one of the entries, $p[3] for example, you will see 12:5. There are two commands which allow you to access the data value and the frequency of the entry.

{datavalue($p[3])} will return 12
{freq($p[3])} will return 5
