English term or phrase: mean + xS

Voici des segments contenant l'expression :

The run is considered out of control when 2 consecutive measurements exceed the same mean + 2S or the same mean - 2S limit.

The run is considered out of control when 4 or more consecutive measurements exceed the same (mean + 1S) or (mean - 1S) limit.

A quoi S peut-il faire référence ? Pensez-vous qu'il faille traduire ?

disagree

Daryo: "médiane + x écart type" definitely NOT - the SD is always given in relation to the mean // your links are translations by people who are not on speaking terms with maths/statistics - happens - that why I always aim for primary sources

-> Non. L'écart-type est parfois (populations) donné en fonction de la médiane (http://context.reverso.net/translation/french-english/écart ...

disagree

B D Finch: The SD is calculated from the mean, not from the median. The translation in your reference is simply wrong and if you look at the English version, you will see it refers to the mean and not to the median.
