naginterfaces.library.univar.robust_1var_trimmed(x, alpha)[source]

robust_1var_trimmed calculates the trimmed and Winsorized means of a sample and estimates of the variances of the two means.

Notes

robust_1var_trimmed calculates the -trimmed mean and -Winsorized mean for a given , as described below.

Let , for represent the sample observations sorted into ascending order. Let where represents the integer nearest to ; if then is reduced by .

Then the trimmed mean is defined as:

and the Winsorized mean is defined as:

robust_1var_trimmed then calculates the Winsorized variance about the trimmed and Winsorized means respectively and divides by to obtain estimates of the variances of the above two means.

Thus we have;
