  2. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    Cumulative probability of a normal distribution with expected value 0 and standard deviation 1. In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation of the values of a variable about its mean. [1] A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set ...

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    If is a standard normal deviate, then = + will have a normal distribution with expected value and standard deviation . This is equivalent to saying that the standard normal distribution Z {\textstyle Z} can be scaled/stretched by a factor of σ {\textstyle \sigma } and shifted by μ {\textstyle \mu } to yield a different normal distribution ...

  4. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    Standard normal table. In statistics, a standard normal table, also called the unit normal table or Z table, [1] is a mathematical table for the values of Φ, the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution. It is used to find the probability that a statistic is observed below, above, or between values on the standard normal ...

  5. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    Hence the estimator of ⁡ becomes + ¯, leading the following formula for standard error: ⁡ (¯) = + ¯ (since the standard deviation is the square root of the variance). Student approximation when σ value is unknown

  6. Unbiased estimation of standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbiased_estimation_of...

    Unbiased estimation of standard deviation. In statistics and in particular statistical theory, unbiased estimation of a standard deviation is the calculation from a statistical sample of an estimated value of the standard deviation (a measure of statistical dispersion) of a population of values, in such a way that the expected value of the ...

  7. Deviation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The second standard deviation from the mean in a normal distribution encompasses a larger portion of the data, covering approximately 95% of the observations. Standard deviation is a widely used measure of the spread or dispersion of a dataset. It quantifies the average amount of variation or deviation of individual data points from the mean of ...

  8. Standard score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score

    Comparison of the various grading methods in a normal distribution, including: standard deviations, cumulative percentages, percentile equivalents, z-scores, T-scores. In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured.

  9. Geometric standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_standard_deviation

    The geometric standard deviation is used as a measure of log-normal dispersion analogously to the geometric mean. [3] As the log-transform of a log-normal distribution results in a normal distribution, we see that the geometric standard deviation is the exponentiated value of the standard deviation of the log-transformed values, i.e. = ⁡ (⁡ (⁡)).
