What is Weighted Variance?
Weighted variance extends the concept of variance to accommodate values with different weights. The weights can represent frequency (how many times a value occurs) or reliability (how certain we are about each measurement). The calculation method differs based on the weight interpretation.
Formula
Weighted Var = Sum[wi * (xi - x_bar)^2] / (Sum[wi] - 1)
For frequency weights with Bessel's correction.
