  2. Weighted median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_median

    The weighted median is shown in red and is different than the ordinary median. In statistics, a weighted median of a sample is the 50% weighted percentile. [1] [2] [3] It was first proposed by F. Y. Edgeworth in 1888. [4] [5] Like the median, it is useful as an estimator of central tendency, robust against outliers. It allows for non-uniform ...

  3. Hodges–Lehmann estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodges–Lehmann_estimator

    In statistics, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a robust and nonparametric estimator of a population's location parameter.For populations that are symmetric about one median, such as the Gaussian or normal distribution or the Student t-distribution, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a consistent and median-unbiased estimate of the population median.

  4. N50, L50, and related statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N50,_L50,_and_related...

    For example: If L = (2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 8, 8), then L' consists of six 2's, six 3's, four 4's, and sixteen 8's. That is, L' has twice as many 2s as L; it has three times as many 3s as L; it has four times as many 4s; etc. The median of the 32-element set L' is the average of the 16th smallest element, 4, and 17th smallest element, 8, so the N50 is

  5. Estimating equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimating_equations

    In statistics, the method of estimating equations is a way of specifying how the parameters of a statistical model should be estimated.This can be thought of as a generalisation of many classical methods—the method of moments, least squares, and maximum likelihood—as well as some recent methods like M-estimators.

  6. Trimean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimean

    For context, the best single point estimate by L-estimators is the median, with an efficiency of 64% or better (for all n), while using two points (for a large data set of over 100 points from a symmetric population), the most efficient estimate is the 27% midsummary (mean of 27th and 73rd percentiles), which has an efficiency of about 81% ...

  7. Winsorized mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsorized_mean

    A winsorized mean is a winsorized statistical measure of central tendency, much like the mean and median, and even more similar to the truncated mean.It involves the calculation of the mean after winsorizing — replacing given parts of a probability distribution or sample at the high and low end with the most extreme remaining values, [1] typically doing so for an equal amount of both ...

  8. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    For univariate distributions that are symmetric about one median, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a robust and highly efficient estimator of the population median; for non-symmetric distributions, the Hodges–Lehmann estimator is a robust and highly efficient estimator of the population pseudo-median, which is the median of a symmetrized ...

  9. Weighted arithmetic mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_arithmetic_mean

    Gatz et al. mention that the above formulation was published by Endlich et al. (1988) when treating the weighted mean as a combination of a weighted total estimator divided by an estimator of the population size, [5] based on the formulation published by Cochran (1977), as an approximation to the ratio mean. However, Endlich et al. didn't seem ...
