mad
Compute mean or median absolute deviation values.
Syntax
m=mad(x)
m=mad(x,opt)
m=mad(x,opt,dim)
Inputs
- x
- Data sample.
- opt
- The deviation option (0 = mean, 1 = median).
- dim
- Dimension on which to perform the calculation.
Outputs
- m
- Mean or median deviation.
Examples
Vector example with median deviation:
x = [9.3, 10.6, 11.9, 13.3, 15.1, 18.2];
m=mad(x,1)
m = 2.25
x = [9.3, 4.8; 10.6, 6.6; 11.9, 8.0; 13.3, 9.3; 15.1, 10.6; 18.2, 11.9];
m=mad(x,1)
m = [Matrix] 1 x 2
