med_abs_deviation
- jwst.clean_flicker_noise.nsclean.med_abs_deviation(d, median=True)[source]
Compute the median absolute deviation.
Computes the median and the median absolute deviation (MAD). For normally distributed data, multiply the MAD by 1.4826 to approximate standard deviation. If
median=True(the default), this returns a tuple containing (median, MAD). Otherwise, only the MAD is returned.- Parameters:
- dndarray
The input data
- medianbool
Return both the median and MAD
- Returns:
- mfloat, optional
Median
- madfloat
