Average Squared Distance Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Average Squared Distance (ASD) is:

\[ \text{ASD} = \frac{\text{SSD}}{\text{N}} \]

Where:

Average Squared Distance (ASD): The average of the squared differences between each data point and a reference point, typically the mean.
Sum of Squared Distances (SSD): The total of the squared differences.
Number of Points (N): The number of data points.

Let's say the sum of squared distances (SSD) is 200 and the number of points (N) is 10. Using the formula:

\[ \text{ASD} = \frac{200}{10} = 20 \, \text{units}^2 \]

So, the average squared distance is 20 units².
