Wonder Where We Land
''Wonder Where We Land'' is the second studio album from British producer SBTRKT. It was released on 7 October 2014 through Young Turks. Background For ''Wonder Where We Land'', SBTRKT aimed to expand the concept of the SBTRKT identity belonging to one person by diverging from the club-inspired and minimal approach of SBTRKT's first album. In order to achieve this, SBTRKT brought in a larger array of singers and musicians and conducted sessions in the USA and the UK, notably Osea, a remote island of the coast of Essex. SBTRKT and SBTRKT's visual collaborator, A Hidden Place chose to visually reflect this expansion of the SBTRKT identity by depicting the concept of SBTRKT as an unknown quadrupedal masked creature on the artwork of this album. The record is dedicated to SBTRKT's older brother, Daniel, who died from cancer during the album's creation. Critical reception ''Wonder Where We Land'' received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, whic ...

Weighted Mean
The weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an ordinary arithmetic mean (the most common type of average), except that instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. The notion of weighted mean plays a role in descriptive statistics and also occurs in a more general form in several other areas of mathematics. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the same as the arithmetic mean. While weighted means generally behave in a similar fashion to arithmetic means, they do have a few counterintuitive properties, as captured for instance in Simpson's paradox. Examples Basic example Given two school with 20 students, one with 30 test grades in each class as follows: :Morning class = :Afternoon class = The mean for the morning class is 80 and the mean of the afternoon class is 90. The unweighted mean of the two means is 85. However, this does not account for the difference in number o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
