Average Deviation. In statistics, the absolute deviation of an element of a data set is the absolute difference between that element and a given point. The average deviation of a data set is the average of the absolute deviations. The average deviation is also called the average absolute deviation.
For example, in the population {4, 8}, the mean is 6 and the deviations from mean are {-2, 2}. Those deviations squared are {4, 4} the average of which (the variance) is 4. Therefore, the standard deviation is 2. In this case 100% of the values in the population are at one standard deviation of the mean. The standard deviation is the most common measure of statistical dispersion, measuring how widely spread the values in a data set are. If the data points are close to the mean, then the standard deviation is small.
