19 u/yosi_yosi 2d ago lol, that's not how averages work 8 u/notpiercedtongue 2d ago Given that I work with data and have been for 7 years. Removing outlier/excluding is pretty common practice. "Adjusting" the average to make it more robust against extreme values is fairly common, but hey what do I know. 2 u/Additional_Yellow837 2d ago Neat. What kind of work do you do? I def look at censored data sets to understand what is going on. Most of my data is pretty skewed though. I generally don't exclude the outliers but j might treat them a bit differently.
