MeanDeviation

MeanDeviation[list]
gives the mean absolute deviation from the mean of the elements in list.
  • For the list {x1, x2, ..., xn}, the mean deviation is given by , where is the mean of the list.
  • MeanDeviation[{{x1, y1, ...}, {x2, y2, ...}, ...}] gives {MeanDeviation[{x1, x2, ...}], MeanDeviation[{y1, y2, ...}, ...]}.
