They are placed .... Explanation: They are placed at a distance of two standard deviations from the structural trend of the realised annual income. My geriatric brain. |

standard deviation Explanation: "These differ from the structural trend by the amount of two standard deviations of the actual yield per year." That is hgow I would translate it. A standard deviation is a statistical value that is calculated on the basis of a range of values. HTH |

...standard deviations... Explanation: Hi Jarry, Here's how I would do it: These are two standard deviations of real annual profit away from the structural trend. 'Standaardafwijkingen van de reële opbrengsten per jaar' is the object of the sentence, as I see it (you could replace it by, for example, 'meter', dus: 'twee meter af van de structurele trend') Hope this helps. |

Standard deviation Explanation: "These are positioned "two standard deviations" beyond the real yearly income ( of: proceeds,)from the structural trend. "Standard deviation" is volgens mij een statistisch begrip dat binnen marketing termen en -kringen wordt vertaald met "standard deviation". Statisistiek is een vak "voor speciaal geïnteresserden... ;-o)) Ik hoop dat je er mee geholpen bent. Groeten, Pieter_H Reference: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22standard+deviation%22&hl=n...

standard deviations Explanation: Hello Jarry, "The real annual proceeds have been removed from the structual trend by two standard deviations." It appears to me that this it what it should be, even though I am not a mathematician. :-) In my opinion, standard deviations are used to correct trends, i.e. other influences. In the Pacific Science Center in Seattle is a unit with falling bullets (I don't know what else to call it) with a nummer of boxes (let's say about 20 or so) lined up. The balls drop in the middle of the boxes at box 9,10,11 and the possibility of balls being accidentally dropped in the outer boxes are remote, yet it does happen, and with a certain mind-boggling regularity. This is what I have in mind with standard deviations. There is an graph in the following reference: http://glass.ed.asu.edu/stats/lesson3/ Certain things follow from the facts about areas in the graph for the normal curve: 50% of the area (and hence, half the cases in a set of data that is normally distributed) lies below the middle or mean. 34% of the area lies between the mean and a point one standard deviation above. Likewise, there is 34% between the mean and a standard deviation below the mean. It follows, then, that 16% of the data in a normal distribution lies below a point one standard deviation below the mean. Good luck, it sounds like it is an interesting translation. One that'll keep you on your toes alright! Marijke Reference: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/eda/section3/eda359.... |

standard deviations Explanation: The standard deviation (SD) is a statistical measure of variation. A high value for the SD indicates that there are considerable deviations from the mean. When picking one item from a normally distributed population, there is a chance of only 5% to have one smaller than the mean minus 2 SD or larger than the mean plus 2 SD. The 2 SD lines indicate that range of possible values that covers 95% of the distribution. A trend is an average value, a mean, over time. In this case we have to to with yearly averages. The chance that the revenue in a given year falls below or above these lines (parallel to the trend line) is only 5%. "Deze liggen twee standaardafwijkingen van de reële opbrengsten per jaar af van de structurele trend," is: "These are two standard deviations away from the structural trend." The rest of the sentence is only confusing. I am a lecturer of statistics. |
