Namespace: Extreme.Statistics
Assembly: Extreme.Numerics (Extreme.Numerics)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function GetWinsorizedMean ( _

Parameters

percent (System.Double)
The percentage of extreme values to restrict before evaluating the mean.

Return Value

The Winsorized mean of the variable.

Remarks

The Winsorized mean is similar to the GetTrimmedMean(Double). However, instead of discarding the values outside the range, they are set to the highest or lowest value. For example, the Winsorized mean at 5% is calculated by setting all values smaller than the 5th percentile equal to the 5th percentile, and all values larger than the 95th percentile equal to the 95th percentile.
