Functions Included
Displays a list of functions that are the standard logical comparisons such
as less than, less than or equal to, not equal to, and so forth. See
“Comparing Values,” p. 301, for details.
Displays a list of functions that are programming-like functions, such as If,
Match, and Select. See “Using Conditional Clauses,” p. 302, for details.
Displays a list of functions that compute probabilities and quantiles for
standard statistical distributions, such as normal, Student’s t, Chi-squared,
and F-distributions. See “Calculating Quantiles and Probabilities,” p. 303,
for details.
Displays a list of functions that compute discrete probabilities, such as
Poisson, Gamma Poisson, and Hypergeometric. See “Calculating Discrete
Probabilities,” p. 304, for details.
Displays a list of functions that calculate standard statistical quantities such
as the mean or standard deviation. See “Computing Statistical Functions,”
p. 305, for details.
Displays a list of functions that generate random numbers based on
predefined distributions such as the uniform, normal, Cauchy, and so on.
There is also a function to randomize the order of table rows. See
“Generating Random Numbers,” p. 306, for details.
Displays a list of functions that require arguments with the date data type,
which is interpreted as the number of seconds since January 1, 1904. Date
Time functions return values such as day, week, or month of the year. They
can also compute dates and can find data intervals. See “Using Dates and
Times,” p. 306, for details.
Displays a list of functions that assign or detect row state status of color,
marker, label, hidden, excluded, or selected. See “Processing Row State
Data,” p. 307, for details.
Displays a list of functions that place the value on the right side of the
assignment operator into the variable on the left side of the operator. See
“Using Assignment Functions,” p. 309, for details.
Lets you construct a Linear, Interactions, or Full Quadratic model for
columns that you choose. After choosing the type of model, a window
appears that lets you select the variables from which to construct the
model. Hold the CTRL key and Click to select more than one.
