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.

Formula :
MAD = ( ∑ |xi−µ| ) / n
where
xi = the value of a data point
|xi − µ| = absolute deviation
µ = mean
n = sample size
