Parameters

values
Type: SystemInt32
Histogram array.
mean
Type: SystemDouble
Mean value of the histogram.

Return Value

Type: Double

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type . When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).
Remarks

The input array is treated as histogram, i.e. its indexes are treated as values of stochastic function, but array values are treated as "probabilities" (total amount of hits).

The method is an equivalent to the HistogramStandardDeviation(Int32) method, but it relies on the passed mean value, which is previously calculated using HistogramMean(Int32) method.
