template <class T>double geometric(int n, T *data)

The geometric mean of a sequence $x_i$ is defined by:

$G=\sqrt[N]{\prod_{i=1}^N x_i}$

(1)

Thus,

$G(x_1,x_2)=\sqrt{x_1x_2}$

(2)

$G(x_1,x_2,x_3)=\sqrt[3]{x_1x_2x_3}$

(3)

and so on. For $N=2$ , the geometric mean is related to the arithmetic mean and harmonic mean by

$G=\sqrt{AH}$

(4)

where:

A = arithmetic mean and
H = harmonic mean]

Example 1

#include <codecogs/statistics/moments/geometric.h>
#include <iostream>
#include<math.h>
int main() 
{
  int x[5] = {4 , 6 , 1 , 3 , 7};
  double geom = Stats::Moments::geometric(5, x);
  std::cout << "The population mean is: " << geom << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Output:

The population mean is: 3.47125
