How do I plot AVEDEV?
How do I plot Mean Average Deviation -the AVEDEV funcation - as opposed to
standard deviation? Any suggestions? Thanks, Graeme |

How do I plot AVEDEV?
Graeme -
AVEDEV, i.e., the average of absolute deviations from the mean, is a single-number summary measure of dispersion. Usually, I do not "plot" such a number. What kind of plot are you developing? Regarding standard deviation (stdev), on a histogram (column chart of the frequency distribution of a set of data), one might plot vertical lines for "mean minus two stdev" and "mean plus two stdev" to show a 95% range.
