# scipy.stats.trim_mean

scipy.stats.trim_mean(a, proportiontocut, axis=0)

  Return mean of 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 ).

  Parameters
    a array_like

      Input array.

    proportiontocut float

      Fraction to cut off of both tails of the distribution.

    axis int or None, optional

      Axis along which the trimmed means are computed. Default is 0. If None, compute over the whole array a.

  Returns
    trim_mean ndarray

      Mean of trimmed array.

    Compute the trimmed mean ignoring values outside given limits.

  Examples

      >>> from scipy import stats
      >>> x = np.arange(20)
      >>> stats.trim_mean(x, 0.1)
      9.5
      >>> x2 = x.reshape(5, 4)
      >>> x2
      array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
             [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
             [ 8,  9, 10, 11],
             [12, 13, 14, 15],
             [16, 17, 18, 19]])
      >>> stats.trim_mean(x2, 0.25)
      array([  8.,   9.,  10.,  11.])
      >>> stats.trim_mean(x2, 0.25, axis=1)
      array([  1.5,   5.5,   9.5,  13.5,  17.5])
