The following formulas are used to calculate statistical numbers for continuous fields:

Formula |
Average |

Median |
The median of a series of values is the central value (or the average of the two central values, if n is even) for the ordered series. |
Quartile |
|
Standard deviation |
|
Variation coefficient |
|
Relative skewness |
The relative skewness is a key figure that contains the information about the asymmetry of the data. If the distribution of data around the median is symmetrical, then the skewness is 0 (zero). If the distribution has a peak with a short tail on the left side and long tail on the right side, then the skewness > 0. If the long tail is on the left side and the short tail is on the right, then the skewness is < 0. |
