for "mean absolute deviation" : Occasionally the mean deviation is defined in terms of absolute deviations from the median or other average instead of the mean. An interesting property of ... the mean deviation about the median is [that it is] a minimum. Note that it would be more appropriate to use the terminology, mean absolute deviation rather than mean deviation.  2, record 1, English, - mean%20deviation

for "average deviation" : Since the term average has a broad meaning which encompasses the arithmetic mean, the median and the mode, it is best to avoid using average and mean as synonyms.  3, record 1, English, - mean%20deviation

One method used to measure ammunition and/or firearm consistency/precision (the ability to group). After determination of the mean point of impact of the group, the distance from this point to the centre of each impact is measured and recorded. The sum of these measurements divided by the number of impacts of the group is the Mean Radial Deviation (MRD).  1, record 4, English, - mean%20radial%20deviation

Une des méthodes servant à mesurer la précision de munitions et/ou d'une arme à feu. Après avoir déterminé le point moyen des impacts, on mesure et l'on inscrit la distance de ce point jusqu'au centre de chaque impact. Le total de ces mesures, divisé par le nombre d'impacts du groupement, constitue l'écart moyen.  1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9cart%20moyen
