- Why is my
Geometric
Mean Always Zero?
Why is my Geometric Mean always Zero
Why is my
Geometric Mean always zero?
The Geometric mean is defined only for Positive Values. A more detailed
definition can be found on Wikipedia.
That means that if there is single cell with a value of zero, or below
zero, the Geometric Mean will be undefined. When this happens, FCS
Express displays a zero as the statistics result. Zero or negative
values in your data can often happen counterintuitively as a result of
compensation. In this case, the only way to have a valid
geometric mean is to eliminate the negative values by creating a gate
on the positive only values and applying the gate. You can then get a
valid Geometric Mean on those positive values.
