Mean Absolute Deviation Calculator

More about the Mean Absolute Deviation so you can better understand the results provided by this calculator. For a sample of data, the Mean Absolute Deviation, which is computed as the average of absolute deviations from the mean, corresponds to a measure of deviation associated to a dataset. Mathematically, we get that the Mean Absolute Deviation is computed using the following formula:

\[ \text{Mean Absolute Deviation Calculator} = \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n |\bar x - x_i| \]

A similar measure of deviation that you can also use is the mean squared deviation .
