2Deviation (statistics) — In mathematics and statistics, deviation is a measure of difference for interval and ratio variables between the observed value and the mean. The sign of deviation (positive or negative), reports the direction of that difference (it is larger… …
3Positive feedback — Alarm or panic can spread by positive feedback among a herd of animals to cause a stampede. Positive feedback is energy taken from the output of a system and reapplied to the input, which is phase congruent with the input signal. A system… …
4Déviation standard — Écart type En mathématiques, plus précisément en statistiques et probabilités, l écart type mesure la dispersion d une série de valeurs autour de leur moyenne. Dans le domaine des probabilités, l écart type est une quantité réelle positive,… …

6Standard 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… …
7Downside Deviation — A measure of downside risk that focuses on returns that fall below a minimum threshold or minimum acceptable return (MAR). It is used in the calculation of a risk measure known as the Sortino Ratio. Standard deviation, the most widely used… …
8Geometric standard deviation — In probability theory and statistics, the geometric standard deviation describes how spread out are a set of numbers whose preferred average is the geometric mean. If the geometric mean of a set of numbers { A 1, A 2, ..., A n } is denoted as μ g …
9mean deviation — In statistics, the arithmetic mean of the deviations (all taken as positive numbers) of all the numbers in a set of numbers from their arithmetic mean. For example, the arithmetic mean of 5, 8, 9, and 10 is 8, and therefore the deviations from… …
