Streumaß
Streumaß, also known as the Streuungmaß or dispersion measure, is a statistical term used primarily in the context of probability theory and statistics to quantify the variability or spread of a set of data points around a central value, such as the mean. It is closely related to concepts like variance and standard deviation, which are fundamental in describing the distribution of data.
The term *Streumaß* itself is a German compound word, where *Streuung* translates to "spread" or "dispersion,"
Variance, one of the most widely used Streumaß, is calculated as the average of the squared differences
Other Streumaß, such as the interquartile range (IQR), focus on the spread of the middle 50% of
Streumaß play a crucial role in hypothesis testing, confidence interval estimation, and data analysis, helping researchers
