	Median - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In probability theory and statistics, the median is a number that separates the highest half of a sample, a population, or a probability distribution from the lowest half.
		When the median is used as a location parameter in descriptive statistics, there are several choices for a measure of variability: the range, the interquartile range, and the absolute deviation.
		Calculation of medians is a popular technique in summary statistics and summarizing statistical data, since it is simple to understand and easy to calculate, while also giving a measure that is more robust in the presence of outlier values than is the mean.

		Then a test statistic must be chosen that will summarize the information in the sample that is relevant to the hypothesis.
		The distribution of the test statistic is used to calculate the probability sets of possible values (usually an interval or union of intervals).
		If the test statistic is outside the critical region, the conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to reject the hypothesis.

		A measure of statistical dispersion must yield a number that is zero if all the data are identical, and must increase as the data are more diverse.
		A very important measure of dispersion is the standard deviation, the square root of the variance.
		Other such measures include the statistical range, the interquartile range, and the average absolute deviation, and, in the case of categorical random variables, the discrete entropy.

		Statistical significance is the degree to which a sampled result is true of the entire population.
		Dispersion of statistical tools describes how your data is spread out or scattered from either side of your central value.
		Statistically, what we need to know is how likely it is that we can obtain a relationship of a particular magnitude from a sample, of a given size, assuming there is no such relationship in the population.

	Standard deviation - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In probability and statistics, the standard deviation is the most commonly used measure of statistical dispersion.
		We distinguish between the standard deviation σ (sigma) of a whole population or of a random variable, and the standard deviation s of a sample.
		In a certain sense, the standard deviation is the "natural" measure of statistical dispersion if the center of the data is measured by the mean.

		Dispersion refers to the spatial distribution of organisms, and is a fundamental component of a species' ecology and life history.
		Dispersion patterns themselves are affected by the distribution of resources (including sunlight, nutrients, prey species, etc.) in the environment, as well as through the reciprocal influence of species' behavioral characteristics.
		One common method of quantifying dispersion patterns involves counting the number of individuals found in each of a large number of quadrats (sampling units used to measure the density of organisms), and then comparing the observed frequency distribution of numbers of individuals per quadrat to that expected under a Poisson distribution.

		Dispersion and CPI change were remarkably close, because the shock from oil and commodities was transmitted to wages and to other prices through the sharp increase of the money supply that had occurred in 1971-72 -- due to exchange rate policy.
		In statistical terms, the sensitivity of dispersion to CPI change declined in the late 1990s -- after an increase in the early 1990s (Exhibit 2).
		To the extent that rising dispersion implies that structural factors are at work, the decline of the CPI is more related to structural factors than to monetary factors.

	Descriptive Statistics
		Dispersion refers to the idea that there is a second number which tells us how "spread out" all the measurements are from that central number.
		At its simplest, the central tendency and the measure of dispersion describe a rectangle that is a summary of the set of data.
		Because of its mathematical properties, especially its close ties to probability theory, the normal curve is often used in statistics, with the assumption that the mean and standard deviation of a set of measurements define the distribution.

	Standard Deviation, Variance, Volatility, Statistical, Binomial
		The standard deviation (statistics) is not calculated directly using a formula or equation.
		A phenomenon is not negatively volatile (or a phenomenon has a good dispersion) if the standard deviation measures closely to the mean average or the median of the data series.
		The statistical standard deviation is calculated as the square root of the variance; the variance is the average of the differences from the mean of the series.

		In calculating the mechanical response (stresses, displacements, reaction forces) of small (micro) structures, heterogeneity should be taken into account since the typical "element size" (grain in polycrystals, chain bundles in polymers, particles in composite materials etc.) is not negligible compared to the structure dimensions.
		"Effective" material properties are not valid and the statistical dispersion of the beam response (causing reliability problems) is inherent.
		Average displacements and their variance are found analytically, and their dependence on the statistics of the above random variables is explored.

		Strictly speaking it is the transit time SPREAD of photoelectrons or, better still, the statistical dispersion associated with this spread that affects the time resolution.
		As the transit time and corresponding spread become shorter the dispersion decreases and time resolution increases.
		The width of the instrument response function in the single photon counting experiment is due also to timing jitter in the electronic components and problems encountered with frequency matching of the signal output of the MCP.
