https://www.isegoria.net/2014/01/retire-standard-deviation/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:20:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 https://www.isegoria.net/2014/01/retire-standard-deviation/comment-page-1/#comment-1114812 Swierczekml Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:55:17 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=34070#comment-1114812 It’s interesting that the numbers are reversed in the excerpted part of the article above(15.7 is actually the STD, 10.8 is the MAD), but if you go to the original article (via the link), the numbers are listed correctly. Was there a correction made to the original article that didn’t make it into the excerpt? If the author didn’t recognize that the numbers were listed incorrectly in the original article, I question his judgement as to their relative usefulness!
