Median of absolute deviation values

—

Use consistent units. Result follow the assumptions wey you enter.

Formula

Use D = median(abs(xᵢ−median(x))) and scaled value 1.482602218505602D. xᵢ na observations, median dey pick di middle of sorted values, and abs mean absolute value. Di scaling dey give normal-consistent spread estimate.

Estimate spread round sample median with method wey resist extreme values.

Where e fit work and limits

Use consistent units. Result follow the assumptions wey you enter.

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
