Function Reference: trimmean

Function File: a = trimmean (x, p)

Compute the trimmed mean.

The trimmed mean of x is defined as the mean of x excluding the highest and lowest p percent of the data.

For example

mean ([-inf, 1:9, inf])

is NaN, while

trimmean ([-inf, 1:9, inf], 10)

excludes the infinite values, which make the result 5.
