Hi,
it seems that we have wrong results for standard deviation when there is one parameter or when there are n parameters with the same value. See attached file.
In the first (sd-one-value) we've got sometimes 0 (which is the right value) or the param's value.
In the second, sometimes 0, sometimes a very small value (I guess it is because there a small difference between average and param's value)
how ca we fix that ?
Thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
Thank you for writing.
Could you please provide us with the example where the issue is reproducible?
That will definitely help us in our further investigation.
Waiting to hear from you.

Hi Dmytro,
Attached is a video which will show an example of a mix of wrong and good SD.
unfortunatly, video file is not accepted, so I attached a screenshot, let me know if it is enough
Thanks

Hello, Patrick,
Thank you for your fast response.
Here is a JSFiddle sample with a demo close to your screenshot: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/5wLfjom7/. It seems to be working as expected. Could you please modify it so that the issue is visible there?
Waiting for your feedback.
Regards,

Hi Tanya,
Thanks.
I tried to play with values but I can't reproduce the problem we've got in our web site but as you can see in the attached file we should not get sometimes 0 and sometimes the value in SD.
In your fiddle, SD is always equal to the value, is it normal behavior ? it should 0, shouldn't it ?
best
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
Thank you for the answer.
Actually, you are right. SD for single value should be 0 and there is a mistake.
It will be fixed in the next minor release (ETA Dec 03).
As for the very small values, we recommend applying a number format to round the values.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ian
