Performance Average (Robust)
(Model Simulator)
Synopsis
This operator calculates the average of the input performance vectors. But before doing so, it removes the performances with the highest and the lowest value for the main criterion. This way it is less likely that outliers will influence the average too much.Description
This operator takes an arbitrary number of performance vector (collections) as input. It then removes the performance vectors with the highest and the lowest values for the main criterion from the input and calculates the average of the rest. The resulting new performance vector is then delivered as output.
This operator is similar to the operator Average but it only works on performance vector and delivers a more robust average estimation where outliers are less influential.
Input
performance vectors (Performance Vector)This input port expects a (collection of) performance vector(s).
Output
- average (Performance Vector)
This port delivers the robust average of the input vectors after removing the two extremes.
