MultivariateTrimmedMean


gives the mean of the bivariate data matrix after dropping a fraction f of the outermost vectors.
MORE INFORMATION
  • gives a robust estimate of the mean by excluding extreme values.
  • The outlying vectors are removed by repeatedly peeling off layers of convex hulls from the data until at least a fraction f have been removed.
  • interpolates between the means of the points remaining before and after the last layer is removed.
  • is equivalent to Mean[matrix].
