Italian term

MQ

Italian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng method validation
(from a report showing the results of a validation for a method for identifying and dosing a compound: "Report dello studio Validazione metodo HPLC per identificare e dosare il principio attivo DOXICICLINA ICLATO") This part here below comes from the section "2.2 Linearità" and subsection "Correlazione":

ANALISI VARIANZA
gdl SQ MQ F Significatività F
Regressione 1 7,14E+11 7,14E+11 14596,56 3,22E-21
Residuo 13 6,36E+08 48923613
Totale 14 7,15E+11

What's the meaning of the abbreviation MQ here, and what is it's translation into English?

Thanks,

Peter

its translation not "it's"
Peter Waymel (asker) Dec 6, 2012:
Not at all! I was just trying to abide by Proz's 'one term per query' rule. I would gladly have asked about the rest. As it is, I found an old translation from this same company - sent to me, not done by me - which translated that whole line 'as is', so it's become a moot issue, at least for me. But thanks for your interest and question. - Peter

Does the fact that you've only asked about MQ mean that you know what the rest of the line means?

Media quadratica

Spiegazione:
se ben ricordo:
MQ = somma quadratica è la risultante della radice quadrata della somma dei quadrati delle cifre o termini diviso per il loro numero

MA = la media aritmetica è la risultante della somma delle cifre o termini diviso per il loro num

Numeri : 3, 5, 1
Es: 3+5+1 = 9
MA = 9/3 = 3

MQ = (Radice quadrata di 9+25+1)/3

MQ = 5,916/3 =1,972

Mi correggo:
Come da definizione data sideve fare la radice quadrata del rapporto:
ovvero
RQ (9+25+1)/3
RQ (35/3) = RQ di 11,6667= 3,4157

In inglese è: root mean square (abbreviated RMS or rms=
anche nota col nome di "quadratic mean".

The RMS value of a set of values (or a continuous-time waveform) is the square root of the arithmetic mean (average) of the squares of the original values
