Description Usage Arguments Details See Also Examples

Compute the mean absolute deviation about the mean

1	ds_mdev(x, data = NULL, na.rm = FALSE)

`x`	a numeric vector
`data`	a `data.frame` or `tibble`
`na.rm`	a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

The ds_mdev function computes the mean absolute deviation about the mean. It is different from mad in stats package as the statistic used to compute the deviations is not median but mean. Any NA values are stripped from x before computation takes place
