  2. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    The median of a power law distribution x −a, with exponent a > 1 is 2 1/(a − 1) x min, where x min is the minimum value for which the power law holds [10] The median of an exponential distribution with rate parameter λ is the natural logarithm of 2 divided by the rate parameter: λ −1 ln 2.

  3. Weighted median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_median

    The lower weighted median is 2 with partition sums of 0.49 and 0.5, and the upper weighted median is 3 with partition sums of 0.5 and 0.25. In the case of working with integers or non-interval measures , the lower weighted median would be accepted since it is the lower weight of the pair and therefore keeps the partitions most equal.

  4. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Each entry in the table contains the frequency or count of the occurrences of values within a particular group or interval, and in this way, the table summarizes the distribution of values in the sample. This is an example of a univariate (=single variable) frequency table. The frequency of each response to a survey question is depicted.

  5. Grouped data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grouped_data

    Another method of grouping the data is to use some qualitative characteristics instead of numerical intervals. For example, suppose in the above example, there are three types of students: 1) Below normal, if the response time is 5 to 14 seconds, 2) normal if it is between 15 and 24 seconds, and 3) above normal if it is 25 seconds or more, then the grouped data looks like:

  6. Statistical dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_dispersion

    In other words, if the measurements are in metres or seconds, so is the measure of dispersion. Examples of dispersion measures include: Standard deviation; Interquartile range (IQR) Range; Mean absolute difference (also known as Gini mean absolute difference) Median absolute deviation (MAD) Average absolute deviation (or simply called average ...

  7. 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.

  8. Summary statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary_statistics

    Box plot of the Michelson–Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics.. In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible.

  9. Median polish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_polish

    The median polish is a simple and robust exploratory data analysis procedure proposed by the statistician John Tukey. The purpose of median polish is to find an additively-fit model for data in a two-way layout table (usually, results from a factorial experiment ) of the form row effect + column effect + overall median.
