Variances for Adaptive Trimmed Means.

Abstract

Variances for adaptive estimators of the location parameter in a family of symmetric distributions including the uniform, normal, and double exponential are examined at small to moderate sample sizes. The estimators are all trimmed means or means of trimmings where the proportion of trimming is determined by an easily computed measure of nonnormality. Comparisons are made to the asymptotic variances. (Author)
