method of deviation
1Deviation risk measure — In financial mathematics, a deviation risk measure is a function to quantify financial risk (and not necessarily downside risk) in a different method than a general risk measure. Deviation risk measures generalize the concept of standard… …
2Method of moments (statistics) — See method of moments (probability theory) for an account of a technique for proving convergence in distribution. In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters such as mean, variance, median, etc. (which… …

7Standard deviation — In probability and statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a collection of values. It can apply to a probability distribution, a random variable, a population or a data set. The standard deviation is usually denoted… …
8Absolute deviation — In statistics, the absolute deviation of an element of a data set is the absolute difference between that element and a given point. Typically the point from which the deviation is measured is a measure of central tendency, most often the median… …
9Yamartino method — The Yamartino method is an algorithm for calculating an approximation to the standard deviation sigma; theta; of wind direction theta; during a single pass through the incoming data. [cite journal journal = Journal of Climate and Applied… …
10Median absolute deviation — In statistics, the median absolute deviation (MAD) is a robust measure of the variability of a univariate sample of quantitative data. It can also refer to the population parameter that is estimated by the MAD calculated from a sample. For a… …
