  2. Peirce's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peirce's_criterion

    First, the statistician may remove the suspected outliers from the data set and then use the arithmetic mean to estimate the location parameter. Second, the statistician may use a robust statistic, such as the median statistic. Peirce's criterion is a statistical procedure for eliminating outliers.

  3. Box plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot

    Figure 2. Box-plot with whiskers from minimum to maximum Figure 3. Same box-plot with whiskers drawn within the 1.5 IQR value. A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the dataset based on the five-number summary: the minimum, the maximum, the sample median, and the first and third quartiles.

  4. Data and information visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information...

    A boxplot helps visualize key statistics about the distribution, such as median, quartiles, outliers, etc. Correlation: Comparison between observations represented by two variables (X,Y) to determine if they tend to move in the same or opposite directions. For example, plotting unemployment (X) and inflation (Y) for a sample of months.

  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. 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

    Box-and-whisker plot with four mild outliers and one extreme outlier. In this chart, outliers are defined as mild above Q3 + 1.5 IQR and extreme above Q3 + 3 IQR. The interquartile range is often used to find outliers in data. Outliers here are defined as observations that fall below Q1 − 1.5 IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 IQR.

  8. Anscombe's quartet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anscombe's_quartet

    The four datasets composing Anscombe's quartet. All four sets have identical statistical parameters, but the graphs show them to be considerably different. Anscombe's quartet comprises four datasets that have nearly identical simple descriptive statistics, yet have very different distributions and appear very different when graphed.

  9. Five-number summary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary

    It is possible to quickly compare several sets of observations by comparing their five-number summaries, which can be represented graphically using a boxplot. In addition to the points themselves, many L-estimators can be computed from the five-number summary, including interquartile range, midhinge, range, mid-range, and trimean.
