Augmented order statistics and the biasing effect of outliers

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1997, vol. 36, issue 2, 199-204

Abstract: Augmented order statistics are defined as the order statistics in a sample of n consisting of n - k random observations and k fixed values. Some distribution theory is developed and applied to a study, for k = 1, of the biasing effect of an observation at x on estimators, such as trimmed means, that are linear functions of the order statistics.
