Frequently Asked Questions
Absolute deviation measures the distance between each data point and the mean. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is the average of these absolute deviations.
Find the mean of the data set, then compute the absolute value of the difference between each data point and the mean. Finally, average these absolute differences.
MAD uses absolute differences, while standard deviation squares the differences. MAD is less sensitive to outliers than standard deviation.
Yes, the calculator supports negative numbers. They are handled correctly in the mean and absolute deviation calculations.
