- Which mean to use and when? - Cross Validated
So we have arithmetic mean (AM), geometric mean (GM) and harmonic mean (HM) Their mathematical formulation is also well known along with their associated stereotypical examples (e g , Harmonic mea
- mean - How do I calculate confidence intervals for a non-normal . . .
It demonstrates the Central Limit Theorem, i e how the sampling distribution of the mean tends to the normal, even for values following a very "unnormal" distribution
- Why is Standard Deviation preferred over Absolute Deviations from the Mean?
The mean is the number that minimizes the sum of squared deviations Absolute mean deviation achieves point (1), and absolute median deviation achieves both points (1) and (3)
- mean - Averaging variances - Cross Validated
Context is everything here Are these theoretical variances (moments of distributions), or sample variances? If they are sample variances, what is the relation between the samples? Do they come from the same population? If yes, do you have available the size of each sample? If the samples do not come from the same population, how do you justify averaging over the variances?
- Will the mean of a set of means always be the same as the mean obtained . . .
The above calculations also demonstrate that there is no general order between the mean of the means and the overall mean In other words, the hypotheses "mean of means is always greater lesser than or equal to overall mean" are also invalid
- What is implied by standard deviation being much larger than the mean?
What does it imply for standard deviation being more than twice the mean? Our data is timing data from event durations and so strictly positive (Sometimes very small negatives show up due to clock
- Explaining Mean, Median, Mode in Laymans Terms
Hence, the mean acts as the balancing point in a distribution This visual allows an immediate understanding of the mean as it relates to the distribution of the data points Other property of the mean that becomes readily apparent from this demonstration is the fact that the mean will always be between the min and the max values in the
- mean - Is it correct to use plus or minus symbol before standard . . .
I have represented standard deviation as "±SD" before in publications But I like to have opinions on this Is it appropriate to use the notation '±' with SD ? Or
