  - Miscellaneous
- Math functions
  Math functions are vector functions that perform mathematical operations on one or more columns and return a column of results based on the operation.
- Matrix functions
- Categorization functions
  Categorization functions are vector functions that organize data and determine logical groupings. These functions can be used for conditionalizing results and/or bucketing value ranges.
- String functions
  String functions are vector functions that manipulate vectors of strings to provide information about a string or substring, concatenate and split strings, or transform strings based on specified criteria.
- List functions
  List functions are scalar functions that return lists, subsets of lists, and combinations of lists, among other functionality. Lists, along with packages, are compound scalar data types that facilitate programmatic interaction with scalar data values and variables.
- Data-handling functions
  Data-handling functions are vector functions that return a hash value based on an input column or columns.
- Row functions
  Row functions are vector functions that return computational outputs for row inputs, as opposed to column outputs. Row inputs are defined as a space- or comma-separated list of column names.
- SQL compatibility functions
  SQL compatibility functions are functions that treat null values as SQL nulls.
- Financial functions
- System functions
  System functions are special functions in 1010data that return information about users, tables, and other system objects.

  The object functions can be used to check the existence, type, and accessibility of objects such as folders, tables, and queries on the 1010data Insights Platform.
- Miscellaneous functions
  This category of functions contains special functions that don't neatly fit into other categories of functions.

`g_wstd(G;S;X;Y)`

Returns the weighted standard deviation of values within a given group.

Function type

Vector only

Syntax

g_wstd(G;S;X;Y)

Input

Argument	Type	Description
`G`	any	A space- or comma-separated list of column names Rows are in the same group if their values for all of the columns listed in `G` are the same. If `G` is omitted, all rows are considered to be in the same group. If any of the columns listed in `G` contain N/A, the N/A value is considered a valid grouping value.
`S`	integer	The name of a column in which every row evaluates to a 1 or 0, which determines whether or not that row is selected to be included in the calculation If `S` is omitted, all rows will be considered by the function (subject to any prior row selections). If any of the values in `S` are neither 1 nor 0, an error is returned.
`X`	integer or decimal	A column name Rows where `X` and/or `Y` are N/A are ignored (i.e., the result is the weighted standard deviation of the remaining rows).
`Y`	integer or decimal	A column name containing the weights to apply to the values in `X` when calculating the weighted standard deviation Rows where `X` and/or `Y` are N/A are ignored (i.e., the result is the weighted standard deviation of the remaining rows).

Return Value

For every row in each group defined by G (and for those rows where S=1, if specified), g_wstd returns a decimal value corresponding to the weighted standard deviation of the values in the column listed in X that are in the same group as that row. The values in X are weighted by the values in the column listed in Y.

If no rows have valid (non-N/A) values for both X and Y, the result is N/A.
