The median resists stimulus-scale transformations, unlike arithmetic and geometric means

Evidence

The appropriate stimulus scale suitable to display psyc:hoacoustical data is not a-priori clear. Therefore it is advisable to use the median to find an average because in contrast to the arithmetic mean or the geometric: lUcan. the median is resistant to transformations of the stimulus scale. — Professor Dr.-Ing.
