a measure of the degree of dispersion of data Explanation: If you look standard deviation in online dictionaries, I think the most commonly used terms are "measure" (指標), "dispersion" (ばらつき). So while there is a tiny bit of variation in the wording of the definitions, I think this would work just fine. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2008-04-24 02:48:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you wanted to include 示す、then maybe "a measure indicating the degree of dispersion of data". |
