geometric mean
Root of products
The geometric mean is a type of average calculated by multiplying numbers together and taking the nth root, where n is the count of numbers.
For two numbers, it's the square root of their product; for three, the cube root.
Unlike the arithmetic mean (ordinary average), the geometric mean is suited for rates of change, ratios, and growth calculations: The geometric mean annual return was 7%.
It's always less than or equal to the arithmetic mean.
