41Weighted mean — The weighted mean is similar to an arithmetic mean (the most common type of average), where instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. The notion of weighted mean… …
42standard deviation — (sd) a mathematical unit used to describe the spread or dispersion of a set of data. Each item in the data set has a deviation from the mean (the ordinary average) of the data. The standard deviation is computed by taking the squares of these… …

44Geometric mean — The geometric mean, in mathematics, is a type of mean or average, which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers. It is similar to the arithmetic mean, which is what most people think of with the word average, except… …
45Pearson's chi-square test — Pearson s chi square ( chi;2) test is the best known of several chi square tests – statistical procedures whose results are evaluated by reference to the chi square distribution. Its properties were first investigated by Karl Pearson. In contexts …

47standard deviation — (in statistics) a measure of the scatter of observations about their arithmetic mean, which is calculated from the square root of the variance of the readings in the series. The arithmetic sum of the amounts by which each observation varies from… …
48standard deviation — Statistics. a measure of dispersion in a frequency distribution, equal to the square root of the mean of the squares of the deviations from the arithmetic mean of the distribution. [1920 25] * * * ▪ statistics in statistics, a measure of… …
49Chi-square target models — Swerling models were introduced by Peter Swerling and are used to describe the statistical properties of the radar cross section of complex objects.General Target ModelSwerling target models give the RCS of a given object based on the chi square… …
50Standard Deviation — 1. A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the deviation. Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of variance. 2. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual… …
