  2. Dixon's Q test - Wikipedia

    However, at 95% confidence, Q = 0.455 < 0.466 = Q table 0.167 is not considered an outlier. McBane [1] notes: Dixon provided related tests intended to search for more than one outlier, but they are much less frequently used than the r 10 or Q version that is intended to eliminate a single outlier.

  3. Grubbs's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubbs's_test

    In statistics, Grubbs's test or the Grubbs test (named after Frank E. Grubbs, who published the test in 1950 [1]), also known as the maximum normalized residual test or extreme studentized deviate test, is a test used to detect outliers in a univariate data set assumed to come from a normally distributed population.

  4. Outlier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier

    In statistics, an outlier is a data point that differs significantly from other observations. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] An outlier may be due to a variability in the measurement, an indication of novel data, or it may be the result of experimental error; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set .

  5. Chauvenet's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvenet's_criterion

    The idea behind Chauvenet's criterion finds a probability band that reasonably contains all n samples of a data set, centred on the mean of a normal distribution.By doing this, any data point from the n samples that lies outside this probability band can be considered an outlier, removed from the data set, and a new mean and standard deviation based on the remaining values and new sample size ...

  6. Sample maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_maximum_and_minimum

    The sample maximum and minimum are the least robust statistics: they are maximally sensitive to outliers.. This can either be an advantage or a drawback: if extreme values are real (not measurement errors), and of real consequence, as in applications of extreme value theory such as building dikes or financial loss, then outliers (as reflected in sample extrema) are important.

  8. Median absolute deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_absolute_deviation

    Moreover, the MAD is a robust statistic, being more resilient to outliers in a data set than the standard deviation. In the standard deviation, the distances from the mean are squared, so large deviations are weighted more heavily, and thus outliers can heavily influence it. In the MAD, the deviations of a small number of outliers are irrelevant.

  9. Cochran's Q test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran's_Q_test

    Cochran's Q test should not be confused with Cochran's C test, which is a variance outlier test. Put in simple technical terms, Cochran's Q test requires that there only be a binary response (e.g. success/failure or 1/0) and that there be more than 2 groups of the same size.
