A '''truncated mean''' or '''trimmed mean''' is a [[Statistics|statistical]] [[Average|measure of central tendency]], much like the [[mean]] and [[median]]. It involves the calculation of the mean after discarding given parts of a [[probability distribution]] or [[Sampling (statistics)|sample]] at the high and low end, and typically discarding an equal amount of both. This is usually given as a percentage, but may be given as a fixed number of points.
 
For most statistical applications, 5 to 25 percent of the ends are discarded; the 25% trimmed mean (when the lowest 25% and the highest 25% are discarded) is known as the [[interquartile mean]]. For example, given a set of 8 points, trimming by 12.5% would discard the minimum and maximum value in the sample: the first and last values.  
 
The median can be regarded as a fully truncated mean and is most robust.  As with other [[trimmed estimator]]s, the main advantage of the trimmed mean is robustness and higher [[Efficiency (statistics)|efficiency]] for mixed distributions and heavy-tailed distribution (like the Cauchy distribution), at the cost of lower efficiency for some other less heavily-tailed distributions (such as the normal distribution). For intermediate distributions the differences between the efficiency of the mean and the median are not very big, e.g. for the student-t distribution with 2 degrees of freedom the variances for mean and median are nearly equal.  
 
==Terminology==
In some regions of [[Central Europe]] it is also known as a '''Windsor mean''', but this name should not be confused with the [[Winsorized mean]]: in the latter, the observations that the trimmed mean would discard are instead replaced by the largest/smallest of the remaining values.
 
Discarding only the maximum and minimum is known as the '''{{visible anchor|modified mean}}''', particularly management statistics.<ref>Arulmozhi, G.; Statistics For Management, 2nd Edition, Tata McGraw-Hill Education, 2009, p. [http://books.google.com/books?id=2qcyNld-bHwC&pg=PA458&lpg=PA458&dq=Modified+mean 458]</ref>
 
==Interpolation==
When the percentage of points to discard does not yield a whole number, the trimmed mean may be defined by interpolation, generally linear interpolation, between the nearest whole numbers. For example, if you need to calculate the 15% trimmed mean of a sample containing 10 entries, strictly this would mean discarding 1 point from each end (equivalent to the 10% trimmed mean). If interpolating, one would instead compute the 10% trimmed mean (discarding 1 point from each end) and the 20% trimmed mean (discarding 2 points from each end), and then interpolating, in this case averaging these two values. Similarly, if interpolating the 12% trimmed mean, one would take the [[weighted average]]: weight the 10% trimmed mean by 0.8 and the 20% trimmed mean by 0.2.
 
==Advantages==
The truncated mean is a useful estimator because it is less sensitive to [[outlier]]s than the mean but will still give a reasonable estimate of central tendency or mean for many statistical models. In this regard it is referred to as a [[Robust statistics|robust estimator]].
 
One situation in which it can be advantageous to use a truncated mean is when estimating the [[location parameter]] of a [[Cauchy distribution]], a bell shaped probability distribution with (much) fatter tails than a [[normal distribution]]. It can be shown that the truncated mean of the middle 24% sample [[order statistics]] (i.e., truncate the sample by 38%) produces an estimate for the population location parameter that is more efficient than using either the sample median or the full sample mean.<ref name=rothenberg>{{cite journal|last1=Rothenberg|first1=Thomas J.|last2=Fisher|first2=Franklin, M.|last3=Tilanus|first3=C.B.|year=1964|volume=59|issue=306|journal=Journal of the American Statistical Association|title=A note on estimation from a cauchy sample|pages=460–463}}</ref><ref name=bloch>{{cite journal|last1=Bloch|first1=Daniel|year=1966|volume=61|issue=316|journal=Journal of the American Statistical Association|title=A note on the estimation of the location parameters of the Cauchy distribution|pages=852–855|jstor=2282794}}</ref> However, due to the fat tails of the Cauchy distribution, the efficiency of the estimator decreases as more of the sample gets used in the estimate.<ref name=rothenberg/><ref name=bloch/> Note that for the Cauchy distribution, neither the truncated mean, full sample mean or sample median represents a [[maximum likelihood]] estimator, nor are any as asymptotically efficient as the maximum likelihood estimator; however, the maximum likelihood estimate is more difficult to compute, leaving the truncated mean as a useful alternative.<ref name=bloch/><ref name=ferguson>{{cite journal|last1=Ferguson|first1=Thomas S.|year=1978|journal=Journal of the American Statistical Association |volume=73|issue=361|title=Maximum Likelihood Estimates of the Parameters of the Cauchy Distribution for Samples of Size 3 and 4|page=211|jstor=2286549}}</ref>
 
==Drawbacks==
The truncated mean uses more information from the distribution or [[Sample (statistics)|sample]] than the [[median]], but unless the underlying distribution is [[Symmetry|symmetric]], the truncated mean of a sample is unlikely to produce an [[Bias of an estimator|unbiased estimator]] for either the mean or the median.
 
==Examples==
The scoring method used in many [[sport]]s that are evaluated by a panel of judges is a truncated mean: ''discard the lowest and the highest scores; calculate the mean value of the remaining scores''.
 
The [[Libor]] benchmark interest rate is [[Libor#Calculation|calculated]] as a trimmed mean: given 18 response, the top 4 and bottom 4 are discarded, and the remaining 10 are averaged (yielding trim factor of <math>4/18 \approx 22%</math>).

Start out in a pair of one's lovely island where your peaceful village is having beaches and woods right up until the enemies known just like the BlackGuard led by Lieutenant Hammerman invades your destination. After managing to guard against a tiny bit invasion force, he offers to avenge his loss using battle.

The most important upsides of video video games can include fun, leisure activity and even education. The downsides range as a result of addictive game play which can younger individuals seeing on top of that hearing things they are hands down not old enough relating to. With luck, all of the ideas presented within this amazing article can help manage video games highly within your home with everyone's benefit.

A society without collide of clans hack piece of equipment no survey is being a society with no knowledge, in that it is fairly good.

Workstation games offer entertaining in which to everybody, and they could be surely more complicated as Frogger was! To get all you will be able to out of game titles, use the advice lay out here.
