# Standard Deviation

> [Half-normal][half-normal-distribution] distribution [standard deviation][standard-deviation].

<!-- Section to include introductory text. Make sure to keep an empty line after the intro `section` element and another before the `/section` close. -->

<section class="intro">

The [standard deviation][standard-deviation] for a [half-normal][half-normal-distribution] random variable is

<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:half-normal_stdev" align="center" raw="\sigma\sqrt{1-\frac{2}{\pi}}" alt="Standard deviation for a half-normal distribution."> -->

```math
\sigma\sqrt{1-\frac{2}{\pi}}
```

<!-- </equation> -->

where `σ > 0` is the scale parameter.

## Usage

```javascript
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/halfnormal/stdev' );
```

#### stdev( sigma )

Returns the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] of a [half-normal][half-normal-distribution] distribution with scale `sigma`.

```javascript
var y = stdev( 9.0 );
// returns 5.425292474901783

y = stdev( 3.5 );
// returns 2.109835962461804
```

If provided `sigma < 0`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var y = stdev( -1.0 );
// returns NaN
```

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/stats/base/dists/halfnormal/stdev.h"
```

### stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_stdev( sigma )

Returns the [standard deviation][standard-deviation] of a [half-normal][half-normal-distribution] distribution with scale `sigma`.

```c
double out = stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_stdev( 9.0 );
// returns 5.425292474901783
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

- **sigma**: `[in] double` scale parameter.

```c
double stdlib_base_dists_halfnormal_stdev( const double sigma );
```
