Winsorized mean

a measure of central tendency that is less sensitive to outliers than is a standard mean. To obtain a Winsorized mean, one replaces the highest and lowest values from a set of data with less extreme values, sums the values in the modified set, and calculates the average. [Charles P. Winsor (1895–1951), U.S. statistician]
