  2. 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.

  3. William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lowell_Putnam...

    The problems cover a range of advanced material in undergraduate mathematics, including concepts from group theory, set theory, graph theory, lattice theory, and number theory. [ 5 ] Each of the twelve questions is worth 10 points, and the most frequent scores above zero are 10 points for a complete solution, 9 points for a nearly complete ...

  4. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin_test

    Here is the correlation between the variable in question and another, and is the partial correlation. This is a function of the squared elements of the `image' matrix compared to the squares of the original correlations. The overall MSA as well as estimates for each item are found.

  5. Central tendency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

    the point minimizing the sum of distances to a set of sample points. This is the same as the median when applied to one-dimensional data, but it is not the same as taking the median of each dimension independently. It is not invariant to different rescaling of the different dimensions. Quadratic mean (often known as the root mean square)

  6. Mode (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. [1] If X is a discrete random variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function takes its maximum value (i.e., x=argmax x i P(X = x i)).

  7. 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:

  8. Weighted median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_median

    The lower weighted median is 2 with partition sums of 0.49 and 0.5, and the upper weighted median is 3 with partition sums of 0.5 and 0.25. In the case of working with integers or non-interval measures , the lower weighted median would be accepted since it is the lower weight of the pair and therefore keeps the partitions most equal.

  9. Median absolute deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation

    The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic , being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation . In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it.
