STANDARD DEVIATION
Standard deviation may be defined in two ways. First it is the gauge of data dispersion from its mean or the volatility computed as the square root of variance. The wider the spreads means the higher the deviation. Second, in the field of finance, it is also referred to as ‘historical volatility’. It is the volatility gauge applied to the investment returns’ annual rate that may be used to anticipate volatility.
