Statistical Deviation

Definition

Statistical deviation measures the extent to which values in a dataset vary from their average. This quantitative measure quantifies the spread or dispersion of a set of data points around their mean, indicating the typical distance between individual data values and the average. In the context of digital assets, it is frequently applied to analyze price volatility, transaction volumes, or network activity, providing a standardized way to assess the variability of market metrics. A larger statistical deviation implies greater dispersion and higher variability in the observed data.
