<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average#Median>

Folks,
Try the above link to get to the definitions below, if we are going to get picky about definitions of averages. It's so long since I did all this sort of stuff that I need something like Wikipedia to refresh a tired old brain.

Tootle pip!!

The table of mathematical symbols explains the symbols used below.
Name

Arithmetic mean

Median
The middle value that separates the higher half from the lower half of the data set
Geometric median
A rotation invariant extension of the median for points in Rn
Mode
The most frequent value in the data set
Geometric mean

Harmonic mean

Quadratic mean
(or RMS)


Generalized mean

Weighted mean

Truncated mean
The arithmetic mean of data values after a certain number or proportion of the highest and lowest data values have been discarded
Interquartile mean
A special case of the truncated mean, using the interquartile range
Midrange

Winsorized mean
Similar to the truncated mean, but, rather than deleting the extreme values, they are set equal to the largest and smallest values that remain
Annualization
