Imagine you're working with a numeric vector in R that contains outliers. How would you handle the outliers when calculating the mean?
- It depends on the specific analysis and goals. Outliers can be removed, winsorized, or analyzed separately
- Exclude the outliers from the vector before calculating the mean
- Replace the outliers with the mean of the remaining values
- All of the above
Handling outliers when calculating the mean depends on the specific analysis and goals. Outliers can be handled by removing them, applying winsorization techniques, or treating them as separate cases in the analysis. The choice of approach should be based on the nature of the outliers, the underlying data distribution, and the specific analysis objectives.
