Calculate Standard deviation from pdf

6 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello,
I'm new to Matlab and trying to use it to estimate standard deviation of distribution from pdf of a distribution. I have random values and probability for these value like to following:
Values (Prob) 10 (0.1) 11 (0.2) 12 (0.4) 13 (0.05) 14 (0.05) 15 (0.2)
Is there any function/code to estimate the standard distribution? Thanks.

These are termed a weighted mean and standard deviation:

% 10 (0.1) 11 (0.2) 12 (0.4) 13 (0.05) 14 (0.05) 15 (0.2)
X = 10:15; % Data
W = [0.1 0.2 0.4 0.05 0.05 0.2]; % Weights
N = length(X);
Wmean = X*W'/sum(W); % Weighted mean
Wstd = sqrt((sum(W.*(X - Wmean).^2)/N) / ((N-1)*sum(W)/N)); % Weighted std
