I have 14 different predictions about each observation in my dataset and I want to compute an overall prediction for each observation based on these. Would it be better to use the harmonic mean instead of the arithmetic mean?

2Can you explain what you think would be the advantage of using harmonic mean? Some context would be useful. – kjetil b halvorsen Sep 30 '17 at 13:53

Why not using a median instead of these both? Here you could benefit from its robustness against outliers (in your context some very low predictions). – NeuroMorphing Jun 28 '15 at 22:36
