Median Absolute Deviation Calculator

The median absolute deviation, often abbreviated MAD, measures the spread of observations in a dataset. It is calculated as:

MAD = median(|x_i – x_m|)

where:

• x_i: The i^th value in the dataset
• x_m: The median value in the dataset

This calculator finds the median absolute deviation for a given dataset.
