Double
The mean of the distribution.

Remarks

The mean or expectation value of a distribution indicates its average or central value. The mean is only a very rudimentary characterization of a distribution. Two distributions with the same mean value can be very different.

The mean for the Cauchy distribution is undefined. This means that no matter how many samples are taken, the estimate is no more accurate than if just one sample was taken.
