Flatness

streaming mode | Statistics category

Inputs

  • array (vector_real) - the input array

Outputs

  • flatness (real) - the flatness (ratio between the geometric and the arithmetic mean of the input array)

Description

This algorithm computes the flatness of an array, which is defined as the ratio between the geometric mean and the arithmetic mean.

Flatness is undefined for empty input and negative values, therefore an exception is thrown in any both cases.
