Dear Colleagues;
I am familiar with calculation of an arithmetic mean
+/- a standard deviation. However, for certain problems
now I need to calculate a geometric mean rather than an
arithmetic mean. Is the "standard" standard deviation
still valid for use with the geometric mean, or does a
different kind of standard deviation need to be used in
conjunction with the geometric mean?
Please write to me _directly_ at
