On the consistency of a spatial-type interval-valued median for random intervals
The sample -median is a robust estimator of the central tendency or
location of an interval-valued random variable. While the interval-valued
sample mean can be highly influenced by outliers, this spatial-type
interval-valued median remains much more reliable. In this paper, we show that
under general conditions the sample -median is a strongly consistent
estimator of the -median of an interval-valued random variable.Comment: 14 page
