Question

Difference between mena bsolute deviation and median absolute deviation

Answer 1

heya mate here is your answer
The median absolute deviation is a measure of statistical dispersion. ... In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it. In the MAD, the deviations of a small number of outliers are irrelevant.
MAD = median(| x - median(x)|)

First, find the median of x.

Then, subtract this median from each value in x.

Then, take the absolute value of these differences.

Find the median of these absolute differences.
