grand/overall mean Explanation: Though I must admit I'd never heard of "grand mean" until 30 seconds ago. "What is the overall mean (also called grand mean)? The overall mean is the mean of all observations, as opposed to the mean of individual groups." http://support.minitab.com/en-us/minitab/18/help-and-how-to/... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2018-05-02 20:19:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://dict.leo.org/forum/viewUnsolvedquery.php?idThread=134... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2018-05-02 21:13:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't think you should leave a query. You and I may not have heard of grand mean, but it clearly exists. And I've certainly heard of overall mean. |

sample mean Explanation: When talking about "Gesamtmittelwert" and means of "other dimensions", you implicitly have samples and subsamples. One has to distinguish between "Gesamtmittelwert" and "Mittelwert der Mittelwerte" (the latter is the mean of means taken over disjoint subsamples). These are usually not the same as this page demonstrates: http://www.lernstats.de/php/texte.php?lang=de&sub=zentrale_t... In English the same distinction is made between sample mean and the mean of means. "The term grand mean is used for two different concepts that should not be confused, namely, the overall mean[1] and the mean of means. The overall mean (in a grouped data set) is equal to the sample mean..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_mean If you want to use "sample mean" in the translation, you should also somewhere use the word sample for the collection of all observations.
