Feb 2	comment	What do you call an average that does not include outliers? ooh! thanks dsimcha! Chebyshev is one of my math heroes (mostly for function approximations).
Feb 2	comment	What do you call an average that does not include outliers? I was going to say this approach doesn't work (pathological case = 1000 numbers between -1 and +1, and then a single outlier of value +10000) because an outlier can bias the mean so that none of the results are within 3 stddev of the mean, but it looks like mathematically it does work.
