When I'm actually describing someone from my philosophy class at this point

2018-05-22 05:58:07 UTC  

ok, this might make me look really stupid so i apologise in advance

2018-05-22 05:58:10 UTC  

Why are median values used in statistics?

2018-05-22 05:58:17 UTC  

with the spirit of a 5 year old

2018-05-22 05:58:23 UTC  

to be intellectually dishonest

2018-05-22 05:58:30 UTC  

Ehhhh no

2018-05-22 05:58:37 UTC  

remember when bernie compared US median incomes for blacks and whites? yea.

2018-05-22 05:58:47 UTC  

median means nothing

2018-05-22 05:58:48 UTC  

used in the pay gap too

2018-05-22 05:59:24 UTC  

Medians are supposed used when the sample has too many outliers

2018-05-22 05:59:24 UTC  

it's the just the middle value. Wouldn't the mean be a better option?

2018-05-22 05:59:33 UTC  

average is the best option

2018-05-22 05:59:40 UTC  

thats the most relevant

2018-05-22 05:59:46 UTC  

Thing is most people use them willy nilly

2018-05-22 06:00:07 UTC  

The entire point is to disregard outlier values that would distort averages

2018-05-22 06:00:15 UTC  

Not to replace averages

2018-05-22 06:00:23 UTC  

they just use whatever supports their point

2018-05-22 06:00:28 UTC  

Exactly

2018-05-22 06:00:42 UTC  

Medians have their place but not on their own

2018-05-22 06:01:25 UTC  

Medians are actually considered to be biased estimators in statistics

2018-05-22 06:01:42 UTC  

That's why any statistician worth his salt doesn't use them alone

2018-05-22 06:03:43 UTC
