摘要
The average of 3 observations is the standard method of estimating the location of their distribution. The average of the closest 2 out of 3 observations, although often used, has more variability than the average of all 3 observations for a standard normal distribution. One statistic uses a threshold to decide when to use the average of all 3 observations rather than the closest 2. With the standard normal, this statistic still has more variability than the average of all 3 observations.
