示例：方差和标准差

使用 Var 和 Stdev 函数对比韦伯分布和正态分布的范围。

1. 定义韦伯分布和正态分布的数据集。

2. 绘制分布图像。

两数据集具有不同的散布和形状，即使它们具有相近的平均值：

3. 计算分布的样本方差。

韦伯分布的样本方差较小，表明其散布小于正态分布。

样本方差计算如下：

4. 计算韦伯分布的样本标准差。

该标准差具有与原始数据相同的单位，因此离差的测量比方差稍微直观一些。它可以被视为理论上应该保持一致的一系列测量值中对误差的测量。

样本标准差是样本方差的平方根：

5. 计算韦伯分布的总体方差和标准差：

总体方差和标准差除以样本大小，而不除以样本大小减一：

样本方差或函数 Var 是在量化数据分析中更为常用的定义。
