TrimmedMean

gives the mean of the elements in list after dropping a fraction f of the smallest and largest elements.

gives the mean when a fraction

of the smallest elements and a fraction

of the largest elements are removed.

TrimmedMean works with any real numeric quantities:

TrimmedMean finds trimmed means of elements in each column:

Obtain results at any precision:

Compute results for a large vector or matrix:

Compute results for a SparseArray:

Obtain a robust estimate of location when outliers are present:

Extreme values have a large influence on the Mean:

A 0% TrimmedMean is equivalent to Mean:

TrimmedMean approaches Median as f approaches 1/2:

TrimmedMean requires numeric values:
