Syntax

  • out=GUItrimmean(x,percent, freq)example

Description

example

out =GUItrimmean(x, percent, freq) Use of trimmed mean with 'percent' as per cent of trimming.

Examples

  • Use of trimmed mean with 'percent' as per cent of trimming.

    • In this case we use 50% as per cent of trimming. (See page 92 of [MRZ]) 

    x=[60 30 50 50  80 35000  80 95];
out=GUItrimmean(x,50);

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    x — vector of numeric data. Vector.

    Vector containing strictly numerical data.

    Data Types: double

    percent — trimming percent. Scalar.

    Percentage of input data to be trimmed specified as a scalar between 0 and 100 (generally between 0 and 50).

    For example, if x is a vector that has n values, the trimmed mean is the mean of x excluding the highest and lowest m data values, where m =[n*(percent/100)/2].

    For example if n=11 and percent=30, $n*(percent/100)/2=1.65$.

    $m=[1.65]=1$ therefore the smallest and largest observations are excluded from the computation.

    Example - 1:10

    Data Types: double

    freq — weights. Vector.

    Vector with the same length of x containing the (frequencies) weights assigned to each observation.

    Example - 1:10

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    out —detailed output to compute the index. Table

    Table with n+1 rows (where n is the length of x) containing what is shown in the GUI. Last row contains the totals.
