If I have a data with several different values having the same frequency is there a way to have Descriptive Statistics return each of these? In this example I might want Gnumeric to tell me that both 2 and 6 are modes.
Under the Statistics Tab of the Descriptive Statistics dialog it might be nice feature to have an option to select up to "N modes:" The user could use a spinner to put in the integer number of modes to find. Then starting at Row 5 in the output sheet put N rows (1 for each mode). This would keep the 2- column format and so would also work if multiple columns of data were selected for their Descriptive Statistics. 1 2 2 3 6 6 7 A more complex approach would be to find up to N zero-crossings of 1st derivative of kernel density estimates (Gaussian kernel??). This would pick up sub-dominant modes as well as the dominant mode and you would still have predictable/consistent number of rows in the output. - _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
