The standard normal deviate measures the distance between a particular outcome of a random variable "X" and the mean of "X" in units of the standard deviation (assuming that "X" follows a normal distribution)[1]

The standard normal deviate is used in Egger's Test for assymetry of a funnel plot, which is carried out when investigating publication bias in meta-analyses. In this case it is also known as a Z score.
