Hyndman's MASE metric resolves these and can be used under any forecast generation method. [6] It allows for comparison between models due to its scale-free property. Hyndman studied statistics and mathematics at the University of Melbourne, where he earned a Bachelor of Science with first class honours and a PhD. [1]
A dispersion fan diagram (left) in comparison with a box plot. A fan chart is made of a group of dispersion fan diagrams, which may be positioned according to two categorising dimensions. A dispersion fan diagram is a circular diagram which reports the same information about a dispersion as a box plot: namely median, quartiles, and two extreme ...
The 25th percentile is also known as the first quartile (Q 1), the 50th percentile as the median or second quartile (Q 2), and the 75th percentile as the third quartile (Q 3). For example, the 50th percentile (median) is the score below (or at or below, depending on the definition) which 50% of the scores in the distribution are found.
Hyndman and Fan compiled a taxonomy of nine algorithms [2] used by various software packages. All methods compute Q p, the estimate for the p-quantile (the k-th q-quantile, where p = k/q) from a sample of size N by computing a real valued index h. When h is an integer, the h-th smallest of the N values, x h, is the quantile estimate.
Percentile ranks are not on an equal-interval scale; that is, the difference between any two scores is not the same as between any other two scores whose difference in percentile ranks is the same. For example, 50 − 25 = 25 is not the same distance as 60 − 35 = 25 because of the bell-curve shape of the distribution. Some percentile ranks ...
In a now-viral video on TikTok, bride-to-be Kate O'Neill explains how her fiancé Michael O'Malley developed an "insane but practical" way to cut down their wedding guest list The groom-to-be ...

The SAT, Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) compare individual student performance to the performance of a normative sample. Test takers cannot "fail" a norm-referenced test, as each test taker receives a score that compares the individual to others that have taken the test, usually given by a ...
