Spanish term

raiz de la media de los errores al cuadrado

Spanish to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
El término propuesto se encuentra en el párrafo que sigue, en el que se repite varias veces el vocablo "media" que dudo si traducirlo por "average" or "mean", o emplear ambos términos.

"Para clasificar las predicciones es importante utilizar no uno sino varios métodos de medición del error: error medio del total de la predicción, media de los errores en cada punto, media porcentual de los errores en cada punto o raíz de la media de los errores al cuadrado."

A voz de pronto traduzco:

"In order to classify predictions it is important to use not just one but serveral methods of error measurement: total average error of the forecast, average error at each point, error average percentage at each point or root of the mean squared errors."

Root mean square errors

Por lo general, media se traduce como mean, al menos es como siempre lo he visto!

root median of the square errors

median
Definition

One type of average, found by arranging the values in order and then selecting the one in the middle. If the total number of values in the sample is even, then the median is the mean of the two middle numbers. The median is a useful number in cases where the distribution has very large extreme values which would otherwise skew the data.

"La desviación estándar (standard deviation en inglés) es la raíz cuadrada de la varianza"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation
"It is defined as the root-mean-square (RMS) deviation of the values from their mean, or as the square root of the variance"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error_(statistics)
"The standard error of a method of measurement or estimation is the estimated standard deviation of the error in that method"
