title: Where can I find mad (mean absolute deviation) in scipy?
body: <p>It seems scipy once provided a function <code>mad</code> to calculate the mean absolute deviation for a set of numbers:</p>

  <p>However, I can not find it anywhere in current versions of scipy. Of course it is possible to just copy the old code from repository but I prefer to use scipy's version. Where can I find it, or has it been replaced or removed?</p>
