Owning Palette: Point By Point VIs

Use the Probability & Statistics PtByPt VIs to perform probability, descriptive statistics, and analysis of variance operations. Example

The VIs on this palette can return general LabVIEW error codes or specific point by point error codes.

Palette Object	Description
General Histogram PtByPt	Finds the discrete histogram of the set of input data points specified by sample length based on the Bins specifications.
Histogram PtByPt	Finds the discrete histogram of the set of input data points specified by sample length. The histogram is a frequency count of the number of times that a specified interval occurs in the set of input data points.
Mean PtByPt	Computes the mean, or average, of the values in the set of input data points specified by sample length.
Median PtByPt	Finds the median value of the set of input data points specified by sample length by sorting the values of the newest set of input data points and selecting the middle element(s) of the sorted set of data points.
Mode PtByPt	Finds the mode of the set of input data points specified by sample length by computing the histogram of the input values and selecting the largest bin. The mode is the center value of the bin with the largest count.
Moment about Mean PtByPt	Computes the moment about the mean using the specified order, m, for the set of input data points specified by sample length.
MSE PtByPt	Computes the mean squared error (mse) of x and y.
Normalize Vector PtByPt	Normalizes input data point using the statistical profile (mean,standard deviation) to obtain a Normalized Vector whose statistical profile is (0,1).
RMS PtByPt	Computes the root mean square (rms) of the set of input data points specified by sample length.
Sample Variance PtByPt	Computes the mean and sample variance of the values in the set of input data points specified by sample length.
Standard Deviation PtByPt	Computes the mean and the standard deviation of the values in the set of input data points specified by sample length.
Variance PtByPt	Computes the variance and mean of the set of input data points specified by sample length.

Example

Refer to the Moving Histogram PtByPt VI in the labview\examples\ptbypt\PtByPt_No_HW.llb for an example of using the Probability & Statistics PtByPt VIs.
