Mean absolute deviation The mean absolute deviation of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It gives us an idea about the variability in a dataset. Here's how to calculate the median absolute deviation. Step 1: Calculate the mean. Step 2: Calculate how far away each data point is from the mean using positive distances. These are called absolute deviations. Step 3: Add those deviations together. Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.
