ZProb (Function)
The ZProb function returns the two-tailed P-value of a Z-Test for the specified bar.
Syntax
ZProb(Price, Length)
Returns (Double)
A numeric value containing the two-tailed P-value of a Z-Test for the specified bar.
Parameters
Name |
Type |
Description |
Price |
Numeric |
Specifies which bar value (price, function, or formula) to use. |
Length |
Numeric |
Sets the number of bars to consider. |
Remarks
The z-test generates a standard score for x with respect to the data set (Price), array, and returns the two-tailed probability for the normal distribution.
The function can be used to assess the likelihood that a particular observation is drawn from a particular population.
Example
Assigns to Value1 the Z-Test value based on the closing prices of the data stream:
Value1 = ZProb(Close, 14);
Assigns to Value2 the Z-Test value based on the TrueRange of the data stream:
Value2 = ZProb(TrueRange, 5);
