multideviation

plural multideviations

1. mathematicsA generalization of standard deviation to higher orders.

   In Part I, I introduce the multideviation framework and then use it to prove an important theorem: the Bell distributions can be generated from the set of joint distributions over all observables by deeming specific degrees of freedom unobservable.
