<unk>  play a minor role in statistical computing. A key problem in the design of good<unk>  for this problem is that formulas for the variance may involve sums of squares, which can lead to numerical instability as well as to arithmetic overflow when dealing with large values.
Algorithms for calculating variance
Recurrence period density entropy
Non-parametric statistics
Sample mean and sample covariance
Ancillary statistic
Bias of an estimator
Sample size
Attributable risk
