/**
 * Winsorising or Georgization estimator. Similar to trimming, this is expected
 * to be more robust to outliers. However, instead of removing the extreme
 * values, they are instead replaced with the cutoff value. This keeps the
 * quantity of the data the same, and will have a lower impact on variance and
 * similar measures.
