No it is not.
Step 1: Calculate the mean = sum of observations/number of observations.
Step 2: For each observation, x, calculate deviation = x - mean.
Step 3: Sum together the NON_NEGATIVE values of the above deviations.
Step 4: Divide by the number of observations.

That is the mean absolute deviation, not the rubbish given below!
