| Abstract | Location estimates calculated from heuristic data were examined using traditional and robust statistical methods. The current paper demonstrates the impact outliers have on the sample mean and proposes robust methods to control for outliers in sample data. Traditional methods fail because they rely on the statistical assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity that are often not met with real data. Robust means are superior due to their ability to maintain power and control for Type I errors. Two robust location estimates, L-estimators (e.g., the trimmed mean and the Winsorized mean) and M-estimators, are reviewed. (Contains 3 tables and 1 figure.) (As Provided). |
