Summary Statistics Task Computation Routines
Task computation routines calculate statistical estimates on the data provided and parameters held in the task descriptor. After you create the task and initialize its parameters, you can call the computation routines as many times as necessary. Table "Summary Statistics Estimates Obtained with vslSSCompute Routine" lists the respective statistical estimates.
The Summary Statistics computation routines do not signal floating-point errors, such as overflow or gradual underflow, or operations with NaNs (except for the missing values in the observations).

You can calculate all requested estimates in one call of the routine. For example, to compute a kurtosis and covariance matrix using a fast method, pass a combination of the pre-defined parameters into the Compute routine as shown in the example below:
... method = VSL_SS_METHOD_FAST; task_params = VSL_SS_KURTOSIS|VSL_SS_COV; … status = vsldSSCompute( task, task_params, method );
To compute statistical estimates for the next block of observations, you can do one of the following:
copy the observations to memory, starting with the address available to the task
use one of the appropriate Editors to modify the pointer to the new dataset in the task.
To modify parameters of the task using the Task Editors, set the address of the targeted matrix of the observations or change the respective vector component indices. After you complete editing the task parameters, you can compute statistical estimates in the modified environment.
If the task completes successfully, the computation routine returns the zero status code. If an error is detected, the computation routine returns an error code. In particular, an error status code is returned in the following cases:
the task pointer is NULL
memory allocation has failed
the calculation has failed for some other reason
You can use the NULL task pointer in calls to editor routines. In this case, the routine is terminated and no system crash occurs.
