$\begingroup$ The data I'm using can range from 0 to 1 and I've created histograms with limits of 0.1,0.2,0.3...to 1. Because I have many different limits and outliners would you say that the mean is best? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @JakeM-B, it's hard give good advice, when I have not direct access to and history of the data. Often missing value in the data means that the value should be zero (or something else as default). On your place (if there is no great difference between mean and median), I would try both of them and check how it influence the outcome result. $\endgroup$
