- get the typical data from database
I make a theoretical calculation and then compare the calculation result and the median of the corresonding measured dateset. The difference between them is very slight, so I state that the theoretical model is right and good. However one expert has suspended whether the median is typical value. Could anyone help to explain how to get the typical value in the experiment dataset.
Measures of central tendancy, e.g. median, mean and mode, have been introduced in a lot of statistical books, however these books seldom include the defination of the typical value or introduce the method to get the typical value in dataset. It could be found that median, mean and mode of the dataset is the typical value in some web(http://www.physics.csbsju.edu/stats/descriptive2.html). I don't know whether the typical value is one common expression or scietifical term. Could anyone help how to get the typical value or choose the typical data from the known dateset. Thank you very much.
