geometricMean

Type

function

Summary

Returns the geometric mean of a list of numbers.

Syntax

geometricMean(<numbersList>)

Description

Use the geometricMean function to find the value that best represents a group of values for sets of positive numbers that are interpreted according to their product and not their sum.

The geometricMean function was added in LiveCode 6.1 to complement the average function.

If the numbersList is empty, the geometricMean function returns zero.

If a math operation on finite inputs produces a non-finite output, an execution error is thrown. See math operations for more information.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
numbersList		A comma-separated list of numbers, or an expression that evaluates to such a list, or an array containing only numbers.

Examples
