Winsorized Estimation/Evidence
Method evidence record

Winsorized Estimation

Winsorized estimation is a robust technique that reduces the influence of outliers by clamping the extreme percentiles of a distribution to a chosen threshold. Introduced by Dixon (1960) and developed in the robust-estimation tradition of Wilcox, it keeps every observation in the sample rather than discarding any.
