Mean deviation

Japanese: 平均偏差 - へいきんへんさ(英語表記)mean deviation
Mean deviation
An index of statistical dispersion (variability). The smaller the index, the less the dispersion. It is used in education and psychology statistics. It measures dispersion as the deviation of the numerical value x i of each term in a statistical sequence from its arithmetic mean ( x i - ) and then taking the arithmetic mean of the absolute values. This can be expressed as a formula: mean deviation = . The mean deviation is an easy concept to understand, but since it uses absolute values ​​and is inconvenient to handle mathematically, standard deviation is more commonly used.

統計上の散布度 (ばらつき) を表わす一つのインデックスで,小さいほどばらつきが少い。教育,心理統計に用いられる。これは散布度の測定を,統計数列における各項の数値 xi とその算術平均との偏差 ( xi) を求めてその絶対値の算術平均をとるときに得られる。これを式で示すと,平均偏差= となる。平均偏差は理解しやすい概念であるが,絶対値が用いられ,かつ数学的な取扱いが不便であることから標準偏差のほうが多く用いられる。
