MAD Formula

MAD = (1/n) × Σ |xᵢ − x̄|

where x̄ is the mean and n is the number of data points.

'There is no universal threshold. MAD must be interpreted relative to the scale of the data. A MAD of 5 on data ranging 0–10 indicates high variability, while a MAD of 5 on data ranging 0–1000 indicates low variability.'], ]" />
