  2. Weighted median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_median

    Equal weights should result in a weighted median equal to the median. This median is 2.5 since it is an even set. The lower weighted median is 2 with partition sums of 0.25 and 0.5, and the upper weighted median is 3 with partition sums of 0.5 and 0.25. These partitions each satisfy their respective special condition and the general condition.

    mathematical statistics maximum likelihood estimation mean 1. The expected value of a random variable. 2. The arithmetic mean, i.e. the mathematical average of a set of numerical values, calculated by dividing the sum of the values by the number of values. median median absolute deviation mode moving average. Also moving mean and rolling mean.

  4. Weight function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_function

    Weighted means are commonly used in statistics to compensate for the presence of bias.For a quantity measured multiple independent times with variance, the best estimate of the signal is obtained by averaging all the measurements with weight = /, and the resulting variance is smaller than each of the independent measurements = /.

  5. Central tendency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

    the weighted arithmetic mean of the median and two quartiles. Winsorized mean an arithmetic mean in which extreme values are replaced by values closer to the median. Any of the above may be applied to each dimension of multi-dimensional data, but the results may not be invariant to rotations of the multi-dimensional space. Geometric median

  6. Weighted arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean

    The notion of weighted mean plays a role in descriptive statistics and also occurs in a more general form in several other areas of mathematics. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the same as the arithmetic mean .

  7. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    A well-defined and robust statistic for the central tendency is the sample median, which is consistent and median-unbiased for the population median. The bootstrap distribution for Newcomb's data appears below. We can reduce the discreteness of the bootstrap distribution by adding a small amount of random noise to each bootstrap sample.

  8. Normalization (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In another usage in statistics, normalization refers to the creation of shifted and scaled versions of statistics, where the intention is that these normalized values allow the comparison of corresponding normalized values for different datasets in a way that eliminates the effects of certain gross influences, as in an anomaly time series. Some ...

  9. Median absolute deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation

    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 ...
