@DarrinLRogers@fediscience.org drat, I was about to respond with something witty about geometric mean vs arithmetic mean.. But felt I should check which other "means" to throw in and .. lo, there are way more than I thought. Means: - Arithmetic - Geometric - Cubic - Generalized/power - Harmonic - Contraharmonic - Heronian - Heinz - Lehmer from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tendency

  • @geraldew@fosstodon.org Oh yes. The mean rabbit hole goes deep, and it's only a branch of the larger "measures of central tendency" rabbit hole. Statisticians love making up new statistics.
