Geometric Mean Calculator
Geometric Mean: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers data column of positive values. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared. Scope is.
Geometric Mean Calculator is a planned calculator in the mathematics section of Super Calculator, covering descriptive and summary statistics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: data column of positive values and treatment of growth rates versus factors.
Outputs: geometric mean, arithmetic mean for comparison and equivalent constant growth rate (%).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: GM = (product of x_i)^(1/n), computed as exp(mean(ln x_i)) to avoid overflow. Defined only for strictly positive values. The correct average for multiplicative processes such as compounded growth rates.
