average of timestamps

[tonitpp]

Hi,

I have a lot of timestamps and I want to do the average of them. For example If I have timestamp1 to timestampN, I want to do the following:

(TimeStamp1+TimeStamp2+ ... + TimeStrampN)/N

How can I do it?

I have converted them to double precision float but it seems the result is not  coherent.

Thanks,

ToNi.

Hi ToNi

Could you be a little bit more precise? How do your timestamps look like? Are they relative or absolute? Could you post some code?

I attach you a little example, Is this correct?


Thanks,

I think this works correctly, but do you really want to average absolute timestamps?

Just for example:

Now you can have 3 timestamps (12.7.05 16:00; 13.7.05 16:00; 14.7.05 16:00). Your vi averages these values and the result will be 13.7.05 16:00.

Is this really what you want to have? And if so - why?
