2. 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 ...

3. Peirce's criterion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce's_criterion

   The outliers would greatly change the estimate of location if the arithmetic average were to be used as a summary statistic of location. The problem is that the arithmetic mean is very sensitive to the inclusion of any outliers; in statistical terminology, the arithmetic mean is not robust .

4. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

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

   The "68–95–99.7 rule" is often used to quickly get a rough probability estimate of something, given its standard deviation, if the population is assumed to be normal. It is also used as a simple test for outliers if the population is assumed normal, and as a normality test if the population is potentially not normal.

5. Grubbs's test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grubbs's_test

   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] Grubbs's test is defined for the following hypotheses: H 0: There are no outliers in the data set H a: There is exactly one outlier in the data set

6. Outlier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier

   The modified Thompson Tau test is used to find one outlier at a time (largest value of δ is removed if it is an outlier). Meaning, if a data point is found to be an outlier, it is removed from the data set and the test is applied again with a new average and rejection region. This process is continued until no outliers remain in a data set.

7. Interquartile range - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interquartile_range

   Boxplot (with an interquartile range) and a probability density function (pdf) of a Normal N(0,σ 2) Population. In descriptive statistics, the interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of statistical dispersion, which is the spread of the data. [1] The IQR may also be called the midspread, middle 50%, fourth spread, or H‑spread.
