Robust Statistics

Small collection of robust statistical estimators based on functions from the AstroIDL User’s Library. Function included are:

• robustMean - robust estimator of the mean of a data set and
• robustSigma - robust estimator of the standard deviation of a data set.

lsl.statistics.robust.robustMean(inputData, Cut=3.0)

Robust estimator of the mean of a data set. Based on the resistant_mean function from the AstroIDL User’s Library.
