mean absolute deviation

The average absolute deviation (AAD) of a data set is the average of the absolute deviations from a central point. It is a summary statistic of statistical dispersion or variability. In the general form, the central point can be a mean, median, mode, or the result of any other measure of central tendency or any reference value related to the given data set.
AAD includes the mean absolute deviation and the median absolute deviation (both abbreviated as MAD).
