Two different results from the same data points. Have I misunderstood something?
I believe it should be mean absolute deviation from the mean, rather than from the next value in the list (this wasn't particularly clear in the summary or the article). So you have three numbers, mean = (1 + 2 + 10) / 3 ~= 4.3333, MAD ~= (3.333 + 2.333 + 5.666) / 3 ~= 3.778
There's another MAD, the median absolute deviation from the median, so you have for this data set median = 2, MAD = median(1, 0, 8) = 1.
