Alternatives: "mean rather than" or "typical instead of".
15 Dec 2011 reviewed for CIAO 4.4: the hrc_dtfstats tool computes a simple average instead of an error-weighted average; minor updates to screen output.
That is, should the body size of an individual be related to its parental (genotypic) average, instead of a general population mean?
The number of tickets sold are incorporated into the average instead of turnstile count, and on some nights, the Izod Center's attendance appears to fall far short of the average.

Two new studies from the Community College Research Center at Columbia University's Teachers College have found that community colleges unnecessarily place tens of thousands of entering students in remedial classes — and that their placement decisions would be just as good if they relied on high school grade-point averages instead of standardized placement tests.
Since μ ~ ( t ) is a deterministic process, its mean m μ ~ has to be determined using time averages instead of statistical averages.
Since for lower signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) the estimation can be plagued by outliers, we propose to perform an α-trimmed averaging instead of standard averaging.
Using averaging instead of first-order extrapolation prevents the amplification of small noise which is a commonly observed phenomenon in first-order extrapolation.
FOS reduces the time consumed for orthogonal functions definition and the required memory through its implicit determination using GS coefficients, which are calculated using time averaging instead of point-by-point computation (Korenberg 1989).
