Abstract A class of estimators is proposed for the estimation of the center of the Cauchy distribution. Each estimator in the class is the arithmetic average of a central subset of the sample order statistics. Although the sample median is a member of the proposed class, it is not the most efficient. The average of roughly the middle quarter of the ordered sample has the lowest asymptotic variance.
