as percentages

Each of the functions differences between, differences from first, differences from min, differences from max and differences average has a variant in which the differences are expressed as percentages. The variant is used by adding the term “as {Percentages}” to the absolute differences expression.

For example, we might define Calculated Values

PercDeltaMugwort = differences between mugwort as percentages

PercDeltaFromMinMugwort = differences from min mugwort as percentages

PercDeltaFromMaxMugwort = differences from max mugwort as percentages

PercDeltaFromAverageStinkwort = differences from average stinkwort as percentages

PercDeltaFromFirstBladderwort = differences from first bladderwort as percentages

For this case:

               01 Jun 03    20 Jun 03    30 Jun 03    15 Oct 03    02 Nov 03
Mugwort          100          200          100          200          100
Bladderwort      10           110          1010         10010        100010
Stinkwort        5            3            4            7            6

these calculated values give the following sample sequences:

                                    01 Jun 03    20 Jun 03    30 Jun 03    15 Oct 03    02 Nov 03

PercDeltaFromFirstBladderwort                    1000.0       10000.0      100000.0     1000000.0
