What Does GSD Stand For?
GSD stands for Geometric Std Deviation
GSD, or Geometric Standard Deviation, is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion or variability of a dataset. It is particularly useful in analyzing data that is log-normally distributed, where values can span several orders of magnitude. GSD is calculated as the exponential of the standard deviation of the natural logarithm of the values, providing a scale-invariant measure of spread. It helps in understanding the relative variability in different datasets, making it an essential tool in fields such as finance, environmental science, and quality control.
