How To Calculate Rate of Change (ROC) using Perl?

@bertha 

To calculate the Rate of Change (ROC) using Perl, you can follow these steps:

1. Define an array of data points for which you want to calculate the ROC.
2. Calculate the difference between each consecutive data point in the array.
3. Divide each difference by the original data point to get the rate of change for each interval.
4. Optionally, you can calculate the average rate of change across all intervals for a single ROC value.

Here is a sample Perl code to calculate the Rate of Change:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20

use strict;
use warnings;

my @data = (10, 15, 20, 25, 30); # Sample data points

my @roc_values;
for(my $i = 0; $i < scalar(@data) - 1; $i++) {
    my $change = $data[$i+1] - $data[$i];
    my $roc = $change / $data[$i];
    push @roc_values, $roc;
}

my $average_roc = 0;
$average_roc += $_ for @roc_values;
$average_roc /= scalar(@roc_values);

print "Rate of Change values: @roc_values
";
print "Average Rate of Change: $average_roc
";

You can modify the sample code above to use your own dataset and customize the calculations as needed.
