What Does GMD Stand For?

GMD stands for Geometric Mean Diameter

GMD, or Geometric Mean Diameter, is a statistical measure used to assess the central tendency of a set of values, particularly in the context of particle size distribution. It is calculated by taking the antilogarithm of the average of the logarithmic values of a dataset, making it especially useful for data that is log-normally distributed. GMD provides a more representative average for skewed distributions than the arithmetic mean, facilitating accurate comparisons in various scientific and engineering applications, such as material science, pharmaceuticals, and environmental studies.
