meanAbsoluteDeviation

Computes the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the values in this iterable.

The MAD is the average of the absolute deviations from the mean. It is a robust measure of spread that is less sensitive to outliers than standard deviation.

Example:

listOf(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0).meanAbsoluteDeviation() // 1.2

Computes the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the values in this array.

The MAD is the average of the absolute deviations from the mean.

Example:

doubleArrayOf(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0).meanAbsoluteDeviation() // 1.2

Computes the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the values in this sequence.

The sequence is materialized internally. See DoubleArray.meanAbsoluteDeviation for details.
