2By "delta value" do you mean the difference between each of the N numbers? – 2012-11-02

0Take the sum of those numbers and divide it by the number of numbers. – 2012-11-02

0That is: add up the delta-values, and divide by how many delta-values you are using; to get the average-delta-value. – 2012-11-03

Divide the difference between the last element of the sequence and the first by $N-1$.

0This assumes that the least of the numbers comes first and the greatest comes last, yes? – 2012-11-02

0@Cameron, no, I was not assuming any particular order. – 2012-11-02
