TRIM_MEAN
Download Flojoy Studio to try this app
The TRIM_MEAN node is based on a numpy or scipy function. The description of that function is as follows:
Return the mean of an array after trimming distribution from both tails.
If `proportiontocut` = 0.1, slices off 'leftmost' and 'rightmost' 10% of scores.
The input is sorted before slicing.
Slices off less if proportion results in a non-integer slice index (i.e. conservatively slices off 'proportiontocut'). Params: a : array_like Input array. proportiontocut : float Fraction to cut off of both tails of the distribution. axis : int Axis along which the trimmed means are computed.
Default is 0.
If None, compute over the whole array 'a'. Returns: out : DataContainer type 'ordered pair', 'scalar', or 'matrix'
