Absolute difference
. The absolute difference of two real numbers x and y is given by |x-y| , the absolute value of their difference. It describes the distance on the real line between the points corresponding to x and y , and is a special case of the L p distance for all 1\le p\le\infty . Its applications in statistics include the absolute deviation from a central tendency.
