  2. Mean of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_of_a_function

    In calculus, and especially multivariable calculus, the mean of a function is loosely defined as the average value of the function over its domain. In one variable, the mean of a function f (x) over the interval (a, b) is defined by: [1] {\displaystyle {\bar {f}}= {\frac {1} {b-a}}\int _ {a}^ {b}f (x)\,dx.} Recall that a defining property of ...

  3. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    Main article: Arithmetic mean. The arithmetic mean (or simply mean or average) of a list of numbers, is the sum of all of the numbers divided by their count. Similarly, the mean of a sample , usually denoted by , is the sum of the sampled values divided by the number of items in the sample. For example, the arithmetic mean of five values: 4, 36 ...

  4. Average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

    In ordinary language, an average is a single number or value that best represents a set of data. The type of average taken as most typically representative of a list of numbers is the arithmetic mean – the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are in the list. For example, the mean average of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 (summing to ...

  5. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

    Arithmetic mean. In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean ( / ˌærɪθˈmɛtɪk / arr-ith-MET-ik), arithmetic average, or just the mean or average (when the context is clear) is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection. [1] The collection is often a set of results from an experiment, an ...

  6. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    e. In probability theory, the expected value (also called expectation, expectancy, expectation operator, mathematical expectation, mean, expectation value, or first moment) is a generalization of the weighted average. Informally, the expected value is the mean of the possible values a random variable can take, weighted by the probability of ...

  7. Moving average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average

    In statistics, a moving average (rolling average or running average or moving mean[1] or rolling mean) is a calculation to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different selections of the full data set. Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution.

  8. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The geometric mean is defined as the n th root of the product of n numbers, i.e., for a collection of numbers a1, a2, ..., an, the geometric mean is defined as. or, equivalently, as the arithmetic mean in logarithmic scale: The geometric mean of two numbers, say 2 and 8, is the square root of their product, that is, .

  9. Sample mean and covariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_mean_and_covariance

    The sample mean (sample average) or empirical mean (empirical average), and the sample covariance or empirical covariance are statistics computed from a sample of data on one or more random variables. The sample mean is the average value (or mean value) of a sample of numbers taken from a larger population of numbers, where "population ...
