How to calculate Median Error Distance?
I'm looking at "Schulz A. et al. A Multi-Indicator Approach for Geolocalization of Tweets". They are calculating Median Error Distance. But how they are do this?

From what I see, the terminology used in the paper is slightly incorrect. What MED means is Median Euclidean Distance. What AED means is Average Euclidean Distance.
Euclidean distance is calculated by the formula in the following link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_distance
MED is calculated by taking median of all the euclidean distances between the actual and predicted points
