What is MAD?
« on: 2014 November 06 05:26:58 »
In the Statistics process, there is a value called MAD. Is that Median absolute deviation?

Thanks in advance

It is the median absolute deviation from the median, a well-known robust estimator of variability.

I always thought it was Mutually Assured Distruction, the military strategy during the cold war.

Sorry, couldn't help it  :P
