in reply to standard deviation accuracy question

When you say you get different results, do you mean slightly different results, or wildly different results?

Or to put it another way, is this thread to be a discussion of the details of accumulated rounding errors and limits of precision, or a discussion of what is the correct algorithm to calculate std deviations?

Can you supply a short list of sample data and the output you get with your script and with excel?

Dave.
