Bessel’s Correction
Bessel's Correction is a correction applied while calculating the sample variance and sample standard deviation where the denominator is (N-1) instead of N, where N is the sample size or the number of observations in the sample. This is done in order to correct the bias in the estimation of population variance (and standard deviations).
