So we have arithmetic mean (AM), geometric mean (GM) and harmonic mean (HM). Their mathematical formulation is also well known along with their associated stereotypical examples (e.g., Harmonic mea...

Jan 7, 2025 · The mean is the number that minimizes the sum of squared deviations. Absolute mean deviation achieves point (1), and absolute median deviation achieves both points (1) and (3).

Nov 5, 2024 · One takes the pairwise difference of each point of data [ the mean of the differences ] and the other takes mean A and subtracts it from mean B [ the difference of the means ]. While the …

Nov 2, 2024 · What do you mean by "the derivative at 1 SD is +- 1"? Derivative of what? If you mean of a density plot, then what distribution? The normal? Different distributions will have different …

What does it imply for standard deviation being more than twice the mean? Our data is timing data from event durations and so strictly positive. (Sometimes very small negatives show up due to clock

You can just use a standard confidence interval for the mean: Bear in mind that when we calculate confidence intervals for the mean, we can appeal to the central limit theorem and use the standard …

May 6, 2017 · Context is everything here. Are these theoretical variances (moments of distributions), or sample variances? If they are sample variances, what is the relation between the samples? Do they …

Jan 13, 2015 · The above calculations also demonstrate that there is no general order between the mean of the means and the overall mean. In other words, the hypotheses "mean of means is always …
