average

The average analytic calculates and returns the average of real numbers.

Syntax

average(number1,[number2],…)

The following table describes the required and optional arguments:

Argument	Required Optional	Description
number1	Required	The real number value for which you want the average value.
number2, ...	Optional	The real number values for which you want the average value.

The following table provides the datatype for the parameters you can pass:

Parameter Input Options	Datatype
Event property	Real number
Watchlist values	Real number

Example

when 3 stockTopic s with  average(s.value) as  result >10 then response with body=”${result} ”

The following table describes the result for the event property value that you pass:

Event Property Value	Description	Result
s.values = 8,12, and 14	Average of three event values must exceed 10.	>10

Error Condition

The analytic does not run when there is a type mismatch, that is, when the values contain nonnumeric data. On type mismatch, the analytic returns an error, stops the rule evaluation, and writes the mismatch error to the log file.
