2. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

   Cumulative probability of a normal distribution with expected value 0 and standard deviation 1. In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation of the values of a variable about its mean. [1] A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set ...

3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

   The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when and , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): The variable has a mean of 0 and a variance and standard deviation of 1.

4. Deviation (statistics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviation_(statistics)

   In mathematics and statistics, deviation serves as a measure to quantify the disparity between an observed value of a variable and another designated value, frequently the mean of that variable. Deviations with respect to the sample mean and the population mean (or " true value ") are called errors and residuals , respectively.

5. Standard score - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score

   Comparison of the various grading methods in a normal distribution, including: standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, z-scores, T-scores. In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.

6. Unbiased estimation of standard deviation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbiased_estimation_of...

   Unbiased estimation of standard deviation. In statistics and in particular statistical theory, unbiased estimation of a standard deviation is the calculation from a statistical sample of an estimated value of the standard deviation (a measure of statistical dispersion) of a population of values, in such a way that the expected value of the ...

7. Statistical dispersion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_dispersion

   In statistics, dispersion (also called variability, scatter, or spread) is the extent to which a distribution is stretched or squeezed. [1] Common examples of measures of statistical dispersion are the variance, standard deviation, and interquartile range. For instance, when the variance of data in a set is large, the data is widely scattered ...
