ee.FeatureCollection.aggregate_total_sd

  • The aggregate_total_sd method calculates the total standard deviation of a specified property across all objects within a FeatureCollection.

  • It requires the FeatureCollection to aggregate over and the string name of the property to calculate the standard deviation for.

  • The method returns a single Number representing the calculated total standard deviation.

 Aggregates over a given property of the objects in a collection, calculating the total std. deviation of the values of the selected property.

UsageReturns
FeatureCollection.aggregate_total_sd(property)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: collectionFeatureCollectionThe collection to aggregate over.
propertyStringThe property to use from each element of the collection.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

// FeatureCollection of power plants in Belgium.
var fc = ee.FeatureCollection('WRI/GPPD/power_plants')
             .filter('country_lg == "Belgium"');

print('Total std. deviation of power plant capacities (MW)',
      fc.aggregate_total_sd('capacitymw'));  // 462.9334545609107
