What is Pooled Standard Deviation?
Pooled standard deviation combines the variability from two or more groups into a single estimate, assuming all groups have equal population variances. It is the square root of the pooled variance and is commonly used in two-sample t-tests and ANOVA.
Formula
Sp = sqrt[(SS1 + SS2) / (n1 + n2 - 2)]
Where SS1 and SS2 are the sum of squared deviations from each group.
