Median test (also Mood’s median-test, Westenberg-Mood median test or Brown-Mood median test) is a special case of Pearson's chi-squared test. It is a nonparametric test that tests the null hypothesis that the medians of the populations from which two or more samples are drawn are identical. The data in each sample are assigned to two groups ...
Calculating the median in data sets of odd (above) and even (below) observations. The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value.
In statistical quality control, the individual/moving-range chart is a type of control chart used to monitor variables data from a business or industrial process for which it is impractical to use rational subgroups. [1] The chart is necessary in the following situations: [2]: 231
In statistics, biweight midcorrelation (also called bicor) is a measure of similarity between samples. It is median -based, rather than mean -based, thus is less sensitive to outliers, and can be a robust alternative to other similarity metrics, such as Pearson correlation or mutual information .
The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic, being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation. In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it ...
the arithmetic mean of data values after a certain number or proportion of the highest and lowest data values have been discarded. Interquartile mean a truncated mean based on data within the interquartile range. Midrange the arithmetic mean of the maximum and minimum values of a data set. Midhinge the arithmetic mean of the first and third ...
As defined by Theil (1950), the Theil–Sen estimator of a set of two-dimensional points (x i, y i) is the median m of the slopes (y j − y i)/(x j − x i) determined by all pairs of sample points. Sen (1968) extended this definition to handle the case in which two data points have the same x coordinate.
If there are an odd number of data points in the original ordered data set, include the median (the central value in the ordered list) in both halves. If there are an even number of data points in the original ordered data set, split this data set exactly in half. The lower quartile value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper ...
