两种方法估计开放式类别的收入分配的中点通常发现在帕累托曲线的基础上的调查进行了调查和比较。结果表明，方法的选择和选择的开放式类别中点的平均值或中位数估计有很大的影响，在分析中，收入是因变量。这两种方法的准确性进行了评估，在模拟使用准确的收入数据，并根据这些评估的建议。
Two methods for estimating the midpoint of open-ended categories in income distributions typically found in surveys based on the Pareto Curve are investigated and compared. Results show that the choice of method and the selection of a mean or median estimator for the open-ended category midpoint have substantial effects on analyses in which income is the dependent variable. The accuracy of the two methods is evaluated in simulations using exact income data, and recommendations based on these evaluations are presented.
