Sesame oil is very high in linoleic acid, one of the two essential fatty acids (EFAs) our bodies cannot produce. Essential fatty acids are necessary for normal growth and for healthy blood, arteries, and nerves.
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of a set of data. is the average distance between each data value and the mean. The steps to find the MAD include: 1. find the mean (average) 2. find the difference between each data value and the mean. 3. take the absolute value of each difference.
Statistics of the distribution of deviations are used as measures of statistical dispersion. 1  Standard deviation is the frequently used measure of dispersion: it uses squared deviations, and has desirable properties, but is not robust. 2  Average absolute deviation, is the sum of absolute values of the deviations divided by the number of observations. Median absolute deviation is a robust statistic which uses the median, not the mean, of absolute deviations.
