2. Grubbs's test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubbs's_test

   Grubbs's test detects one outlier at a time. This outlier is expunged from the dataset and the test is iterated until no outliers are detected. However, multiple iterations change the probabilities of detection, and the test should not be used for sample sizes of six or fewer since it frequently tags most of the points as outliers. [3]

3. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

   In the empirical sciences, the so-called three-sigma rule of thumb (or 3 σ rule) expresses a conventional heuristic that nearly all values are taken to lie within three standard deviations of the mean, and thus it is empirically useful to treat 99.7% probability as near certainty.

4. 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 ...

5. Leverage (statistics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leverage_(statistics)

   The formula then divides by () to account for the fact that we remove the observation rather than adjusting its value, reflecting the fact that removal changes the distribution of covariates more when applied to high-leverage observations (i.e. with outlier covariate values). Similar formulas arise when applying general formulas for statistical ...

6. 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.

7. Kruskal–Wallis test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Wallis_test

   [7] [8] [9] If the data contains potential outliers, if the population distributions have heavy tails, or if the population distributions are significantly skewed, the Kruskal-Wallis test is more powerful at detecting differences among treatments than ANOVA F-test. On the other hand, if the population distributions are normal or are light ...
