sample_or_populationsample_or_population (variable)
Indicates if the sample array contains a sample or population
Declared as: int
Description:
The samples array is either a random draw from a distribution (a sample), or an entire population.
Valid values:
-1 = default to standard.
0 = the data is a sample of a population.
1 = the data is the entire population.
Special Notes:
In the standard deviation calculation, the divisor is num_samples for the entire population, or num_samples - 1 for a sample from a binomial distribution. In general, use num_samples - 1.
