Learn how to calculate the mean squared deviation of each observation in a data matrix relative to the grand mean of all observations. This unbiased estimation method is crucial for analyzing large datasets and understanding population distributions.

is an unbiased estimate of . • Consider the following data matrix. • Note that • To obtain the mean squared deviation of each observation in the data matrix • about the grand mean of all observations, we may proceed as follows: • As N approaches infinity the distribution of all N observations in the data • matrix approaches the distribution of the population from which each • was sampled.
