2. Central tendency - Wikipedia

   the weighted arithmetic mean of the median and two quartiles. Winsorized mean an arithmetic mean in which extreme values are replaced by values closer to the median. Any of the above may be applied to each dimension of multi-dimensional data, but the results may not be invariant to rotations of the multi-dimensional space. Geometric median

3. Median - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

   The median of a normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ 2 is μ. In fact, for a normal distribution, mean = median = mode. The median of a uniform distribution in the interval [a, b] is (a + b) / 2, which is also the mean. The median of a Cauchy distribution with location parameter x 0 and scale parameter y is x 0, the location parameter.

4. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

   Like the statistical mean and median, the mode is a way of expressing, in a (usually) single number, important information about a random variable or a population. The numerical value of the mode is the same as that of the mean and median in a normal distribution, and it may be very different in highly skewed distributions.

5. 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 ...

6. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

   Comparison of mean, median and mode of two log-normal distributions with different skewness. The mode is the point of global maximum of the probability density function. In particular, by solving the equation ( ln ⁡ f ) ′ = 0 {\displaystyle (\ln f)'=0} , we get that:

7. Moment (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)

   In mathematics, the moments of a function are certain quantitative measures related to the shape of the function's graph.If the function represents mass density, then the zeroth moment is the total mass, the first moment (normalized by total mass) is the center of mass, and the second moment is the moment of inertia.
