Average Absolute Deviation

Probability and Statistics

The average absolute deviation of a data set is the average of the absolute deviations of its values from a central point, and is a summary statistic of statistical dispersion or variability. The central point can be a mean, a median, a mode, or another measure of central tendency, and the average absolute deviation is a general form that includes both the mean absolute deviation and the median absolute deviation as special cases.

Is Kind Of Object

Statistic, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
