mad
MAD, median = mad(x)Compute the median absolute deviation (MAD) of collection x around the median
The MAD is multiplied by 1 / quantile(Normal(), 3/4) ≈ 1.4826, in order to obtain a consistent estimator of the standard deviation under the assumption that the data is normally distributed. Return also the median of x (used to compute the MAD) as a second output.
