  2. Mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean

    The mean of a set of observations is the arithmetic average of the values; however, for skewed distributions, the mean is not necessarily the same as the middle value (median), or the most likely value (mode). For example, mean income is typically skewed upwards by a small number of people with very large incomes, so that the majority have an ...

  3. Assumed mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumed_mean

    In statistics, the assumed mean is a method for calculating the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of a data set. It simplifies calculating accurate values by hand. Its interest today is chiefly historical but it can be used to quickly estimate these statistics.

  4. Arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_mean

    In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (/ ˌ æ r ɪ θ ˈ m ɛ t ɪ k / arr-ith-MET-ik), arithmetic average, or just the mean or average (when the context is clear) is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection. [1]

  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. Central tendency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

    Truncated mean or trimmed mean the arithmetic mean of data values after a certain number or proportion of the highest and lowest data values have been discarded. Interquartile mean a truncated mean based on data within the interquartile range. Midrange the arithmetic mean of the maximum and minimum values of a data set. Midhinge

  7. Circular mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mean

    In mathematics and statistics, a circular mean or angular mean is a mean designed for angles and similar cyclic quantities, such as times of day, and fractional parts of real numbers. This is necessary since most of the usual means may not be appropriate on angle-like quantities.

  8. 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).

  9. Mean of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_of_a_function

    The point () is called the mean value of () on [,]. So we write f ¯ = f ( c ) {\displaystyle {\bar {f}}=f(c)} and rearrange the preceding equation to get the above definition. In several variables, the mean over a relatively compact domain U in a Euclidean space is defined by
