	Mean - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		Sample mean is often used as an estimator of the central tendency such as the population mean.
		The mean is the arithmetic average of a set of values, or distribution; however, for skewed distributions, the mean is not necessarily the same as the middle value (median), or most likely (mode).
		The geometric mean is an average that is useful for sets of numbers that are interpreted according to their product and not their sum (as is the case with the arithmetic mean).

	Arithmetic vs. Geometric Mean
		The arithmetic standard deviation is a quantity. Multiples of that quantity are added to (or subtracted from) the arithmetic mean to determine the set of values that lie within a given range of dispersion. To determine the value that lies n standard deviations from the mean, we must multiply the arithmetic standard deviation by n.
		The arithmetic mean and arithmetic standard deviation are sum-based values. As such, they are appropriate for additive processes. But earnings growth is not additive; it is multiplicative. The appropriate measures for EPS growth factors are the geometric mean and geometric standard deviation, which are product-based values.
		The arithmetic mean of these factors is 1.2584, implying that EPS grew at an average annual rate of 25.84%. Had that been so, the first EPS, $0.32, would have grown into $2.53 in the last year—which, of course, it did not.

	Arithmetic mean Summary
		The arithmetic mean, or as it is sometimes referred to, the average of a data set, is the sum of all data values divided by the number of items in the set.
		An example of finding an arithmetic mean using a particular data set is as follows: in the set 1, 2, 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 20 the mean is calculated as 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 17 + 20 ÷ 9 = 10.8.
		The arithmetic mean of those rises is 10%, but since the stock rose by $5.1 in 2 years, an average of 8.1% would result in the final $35.1 figure [$30(1-10%)(1+30%) = $30(1+8.1%)(1+8.1%) = $35.1].

		Suppose for the moment that Km is the arithmetic mean, Ka = (kr0+kr2)/2, and that kml = (kr0+kr1)/2 and kmu = (kr1+kr2)/2, and that the homogenous porous medium in Figure 1 is characterized by the pressure-conductivity relation in [6].
		1)), kml = (kr0+kr1)/2, kmu = (kr1+kr2)/2, Km = (kr0+kr2)/2 and the mean of means is 2·kml·kmu/(kml+kmu), the right-hand-side of equation [3].
		The arithmetic mean model also develops severe oscillations in the peak of the pulse, producing many non-physical peaks that are consistent with the concept of mass clumping due to a differential error in hydraulic conductivity between wet-over-dry and dry-over-wet conditions.

	The Super-Symmetric Mean
		The Holder mean M_k() is defined by the above formula with f(x)=x^k, from which it follows that M_1() is the Arithmetic mean, M_-1() is the Harmonic mean, M_2() is the root-sum-square, and the limit of M_k() as k goes to infinity is the Geometric mean.
		However, these means are all just (in a sense) weighted version of a single prototype, and don't seem to capture the essence of the desired generalization of the AGM.
		To illustrate on a simple example, Figure 1 shows how the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers 3 and 15 are related to the two polynomials that match the value and the derivative of the function f(x)=(x-3)(x-15) respectively at x=0.

		What this all means is that if the different samples intuitively should not have the same weights, yet the numerators are all the same, they should be considered as a fixed numerator over a varying denominator.
		The geometric mean is used in cases where the numbers are effectively multipliers rather than having an additive effect.

	How to Calculate Geometric Means
		A geometric mean, unlike an arithmetic mean, tends to dampen the effect of very high or low values, which might bias the mean if a straight average (arithmetic mean) were calculated.
		This is because when evaluating investment returns and fluctuating interest rates, it is the geometric mean, not the arithmetic mean, that tells you what the average financial rate of return would have had to have been over the entire investment period to achieve the end result.
		For example, to calculate the geometric mean of the values +12%, -8%, and +2%, instead calculate the geometric mean of their decimal multiplier equivalents of 1.12, 0.92, and 1.02, to compute a geometric mean of 1.0167.

		Here we cannot use the arithmetic mean and say that the average growth was 3%.
		Note: The mean growth rate comes out to (1.029992 - 1) * 100% = 2.9992% which is very close to the arithmetic mean (as seen in Dr. Floor's answer: compare $109,270,125 to $109,272,700).
		The log of the geometric mean of a set of numbers is the arithmetic mean of the logs of the numbers: log((abc)^(1/3)) = (1/3)log(abc) = (1/3)(log(a)+log(b)+log(c)) Thus you can find the geometric mean by taking the logs of your data, finding the arithmetic mean, then taking the antilog (exponential) of the mean.
