Yeah, Ok.

WhoAmIKidding,IAmToNice,

Cause when i look back at it,

It Just Makes me Sick.

Burned into my memory,

Comes back here and there;

Glad I was there,

But lacking in things to Share.

It makes me think, and also regret,

But what's done is done,

To change it is Nullset.

 

Are you serious? Enough of this game.

This is all geeting in my head too lame.

I won't let myself feel shame.

Whether i come back poor, or with fame.

Enough fo this game.

Boo!

I'm back. Don't know for how long, but i figured this was a start.

It is simple enough for me to blog things here, juts say what i need to say, indirecly at most. But that is so cliche`... I figured how to type greek letters its like Alt+48* * representing amny numbers near there. ���µï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ß��█▌▄█╪╫┘▄-2�▒║╣╞2}╩╚c02{Ö ALt keying is so fun.

Hmm..... You know what, bump this junks!!

Ugh tempting, but again cliche.

No rants for me.

I dont see me as the average guy. Average. Sum of All, Divided by the Total. Average.

Arithmatic Average.

Average one?

Oh well. Oops?

Nah, oops implies a mistake.

Oops.

Xanga has many new butons than i rmeber for posting blogs, or its been a really long time.

Hmmm... High shcol almost over, How typical, lets not get into that.

So cliche.

Manipulation = To control or operate upon (a person or group) by unfair means to one's own advantage

For example, a manipulator will

  • use arguments that the manipulator does not believe in himself
  • or withhold or distort relevant information,
  • or launch false information (disinformation)
  • or "play" on the emotions of the person.
  • physically move the person, like a puppet

Arithmetic mean

The arithmetic mean is the "standard" average, often simply called the "mean".

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = {1 \over n} \sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/a/6/5/a65756f8749e6d0ca0223d4f4a1ab265.png">

The mean may often be confused with the median or mode. 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). For example, mean income is skewed upwards by a small number of people with very large incomes, so that the majority have an income lower than the mean. By contrast, the median income is the level at which half the population is below and half is above. The mode income is the most likely income, and favors the larger number of people with lower incomes. The median or mode are often more intuitive measures of such data.

That said, many skewed distributions are best described by their mean - such as the Exponential and Poisson distributions.


Geometric mean

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). For example rates of growth.

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = \sqrt[n]{\prod_{i=1}^n{x_i}}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/1/0/a/10a4a5b69d8b2cd60dd7423fb4a71b9a.png">

An example

An experiment yields the following data: 34,27,45,55,22,34 To get the geometric mean

  1. How many items? There are 6. Therefore n=6
  2. What is the product of all items? It is 1699493400.
  3. To get the geometric mean take the nth (the 6th) root of that product; it is 34.5451100372

Harmonic mean

The harmonic mean is an average which is useful for sets of numbers which are defined in relation to some unit, for example speed (distance per unit of time).

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = \frac{n}{\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i}}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/8/8/8/888d8ebf1d38de9e22090357b9bc1e07.png">

An example

An experiment yields the following data: 34,27,45,55,22,34 To get the harmonic mean

  1. How many items? There are 6. Therefore n=6
  2. What is the sum on the bottom of the fraction? It is 0.181719152307
  3. Get the reciprocal of that sum. It is 5.50299727522
  4. To get the harmonic mean multiply that by n to get 33.0179836513

Generalized mean

The generalized mean, also known as the power mean or Hölder mean, is an abstraction of the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means. It is defined by

\bar<IMG height=15 src=(m) = \sqrt[m]{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i^m}}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/3/8/3/38347c662422aadda3a9f8180969fa59.png">

By choosing the appropriate value for the parameter m we can get the arithmetic mean (m = 1), the geometric mean (m → 0) or the harmonic mean (m = −1)

This can be generalized further as the generalized f-mean

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = f^{-1}\left({\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n{f(x_i)}}\right)" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/4/b/5/4b5388c0b279c4f394041610cafff3da.png">

and again a suitable choice of an invertible f(x) will give the arithmetic mean with f(x) = x, the geometric mean with f(x) = log(x), and the harmonic mean with f(x) = 1/x.

Weighted mean

The weighted mean is used, if one wants to combine average values from samples of the same population with different sample sizes:

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n{w_i \cdot x_i}}{\sum_{i=1}^n {w_i}}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/e/a/f/eaf250b14f267de9c3a4294929260857.png">

The weights wi represent the bounds of the partial sample. In other applications they represent a measure for the reliability of the influence upon the mean by respective values.

Truncated mean

Sometimes a set of numbers (the data) might be contaminated by inaccurate outliers, i.e. values which are much too low or much too high. In this case one can use a truncated mean. It involves discarding given parts of the data at the top or the bottom end, typically an equal amount at each end, and then taking the arithmetic mean of the remaining data. The number of values removed is indicated as a percentage of total number of values.

Interquartile mean

The interquartile mean is a specific example of a truncated mean. It is simply the arithmetic mean after removing the lowest and the highest quarter of values.

\bar<IMG height=15 src= = {2 \over n} \sum_{i=(n/4)+1}^{3n/4}{x_i}" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/a/2/f/a2fdece59cde89f77449927c6174256b.png">

assuming the values have been ordered.

Mean of a function

In calculus, and especially multivariable calculus, the mean of a function is loosely defined as the average value of the function over its domain. In one variable, the mean of a function f(x) over the interval (a,b) is defined by

(See also mean value theorem.) In several variables, the mean over a relatively compact domain U in a Euclidean space is defined by

This generalizes the arithmetic mean. On the other hand, it is also possible to generalize the geometric mean to functions by defining the geometric mean of f to be

More generally, in measure theory and probability theory either sort of mean plays an important role. In this context, Jensen's inequality places sharp estimates on the relationship between these two different notions of the mean of a function.
