Title: Robust estimation of standard deviation using ordered samples

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5056959· OSTI ID:5056959

A robust estimate for the standard deviation of a normal distribution is developed. We choose the contaminated normal distribution as our outlier model and demonstrate the method with two examples representing data from international interlaboratory experiments.
