I am trying to calculate the standard deviation for each index in a list of
lists of floats. Using Ubuntu 18.04, ghc 8.0.2. I am getting the following
runtime error which I have googled and still don't understand what
"Integral Float" is exactly or even which parameter is causing the trouble.
*Main> let z = stdDev 0 2 y x
<interactive>:250:9: error:
• Could not deduce (Integral Float) arising from a use of ‘stdDev’
from the context: Floating a
bound by the inferred type of z :: Floating a => [a]
at <interactive>:250:5-38
• In the expression: stdDev 0 (length (head (x))) y x
In an equation for ‘z’: z = stdDev 0 (length (head (x))) y x
Code:
-- i is start index, l is length of each list, ms is list of means,
-- xs is Matrix
stdDev i l ms xs
| i < l = sqrt(fromIntegral(sumOfMinusMeans i (ms!!i) xs) /
fromIntegral(l)):(stdDev (i+1) l ms xs)
| otherwise = []
--i is index, m is mean for the index
sumOfMinusMeans i m (x:xs)
| xs == [] = (x!!i - m)**2
| i < length x = (x!!i - m)**2 + (sumOfMinusMeans i m xs)
| otherwise = 0
Types:
*Main> :t stdDev
stdDev
:: (Floating a1, Floating a, Integral a1) =>
Int -> Int -> [a1] -> [[a1]] -> [a]
*Main> :t sumOfMinusMeans
sumOfMinusMeans :: (Eq t, Floating t) => Int -> t -> [[t]] -> t
Variables:
*Main> y
[380.0,1.0]
*Main> x
[[600.0,1.0],[400.0,1.0],[170.0,1.0],[430.0,1.0],[300.0,1.0]]
