  2. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    The arithmetic mean of a set of numbers x 1, x 2, ..., x n is typically denoted using an overhead bar, ¯. [ note 1 ] If the numbers are from observing a sample of a larger group , the arithmetic mean is termed the sample mean ( x ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {x}}} ) to distinguish it from the group mean (or expected value ) of the underlying ...

  3. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

    The arithmetic mean can be similarly defined for vectors in multiple dimensions, not only scalar values; this is often referred to as a centroid. More generally, because the arithmetic mean is a convex combination (meaning its coefficients sum to ), it can be defined on a convex space, not only a vector space.

  4. AM–GM inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM–GM_inequality

    The arithmetic mean, or less precisely the average, of a list of n numbers x 1, x 2, . . . , x n is the sum of the numbers divided by n: + + +. The geometric mean is similar, except that it is only defined for a list of nonnegative real numbers, and uses multiplication and a root in place of addition and division:

  5. Average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average

    Average of chords. 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.

  6. QM-AM-GM-HM inequalities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QM-AM-GM-HM_Inequalities

    Suppose AC = x 1 and BC = x 2. Construct perpendiculars to [AB] at D and C respectively. Join [CE] and [DF] and further construct a perpendicular [CG] to [DF] at G. Then the length of GF can be calculated to be the harmonic mean, CF to be the geometric mean, DE to be the arithmetic mean, and CE to be the quadratic mean.

  7. Chisini mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisini_mean

    The arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, generalised, Heronian and quadratic means are all Chisini means, as are their weighted variants. While Oscar Chisini was arguably the first to deal with "substitution means" in some depth in 1929, [ 1 ] the idea of defining a mean as above is quite old, appearing (for example) in early works of Augustus De ...

  8. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    For example, the arithmetic mean of 0° and 360° is 180°, which is misleading because 360° equals 0° modulo a full cycle. [1] As another example, the "average time" between 11 PM and 1 AM is either midnight or noon, depending on whether the two times are part of a single night or part of a single calendar day.

  9. Sample mean and covariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_mean_and_covariance

    The arithmetic mean of a population, or population mean, is often denoted μ. [2] The sample mean ¯ (the arithmetic mean of a sample of values drawn from the population) makes a good estimator of the population mean, as its expected value is equal to the population mean (that is, it is an unbiased estimator).
