In numerical data sets, the difference or distance of an individual observation or data value from the center point (often the mean) of the set distribution
The voluntary and unnecessary departure of a ship from, or delay in, the regular and usual course of the specific voyage insured, thus releasing the underwriters from their responsibility
A noticeable or marked departure from the appropriate norm, plan, standard, procedure, or variable being reviewed
a variation that deviates from the standard or norm; "the deviation from the mean"
(n) A tolerancing measure used to describe the difference between the size of a produced part and the basic size DFM (n) See design for manufacturability
The difference between the value of a specific variable and some desired value, usually a process set point
The amount of error from displaying magnetic north in a boat's compass caused by the boat's own magnetic interference
The state or result of having deviated; a transgression; an act of sin; an error; an offense
The difference between the value of the controlled variable and the value at which it is being controlled
Variation from a specified dimension or requirement, usually defining the upper and lower limits
The sum of the absolute values of the differences between the theoretical outcomes and the experimental outcomes of events divided by the number of events This is used to statistically compare experimental results with theoretical results
The difference in the direction between the course shown on a compass and the actual magnetic course Deviation is caused by the metal objects and electrical fields produced by a ship, plane, or car Variation: The difference on a compass between the magnetic north pole and the true North Pole Variation is the result of the fact that the two poles are in different locations
The acceptance of a part that does not meet the print dimensions or specification The deviating instructions may range from using the part as is to detailed instructions regarding rework The rework would then be considered as a cost adder or a variance to the standard costing
