    Outliers

    The document describes methods for detecting outliers in data sets, including calculating the interquartile range and using the Tukey, Grubbs, and Dixon's Q tests. For the Tukey test, any values below Q1 - 1.5*IQR or above Q3 + 1.5*IQR would be considered suspected outliers. The Grubbs and Dixon's Q tests calculate a test statistic and compare it to a critical value to determine if a value should be rejected as an outlier. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying these tests.

    DETECT suspects 2: Calculation: Tukey k-Test

    The interquartile range (IQR) is the distance between the first and third
    quartiles (the length of the box in the boxplot)
    IQR = Q3 Q1

    An outlier is an individual value that falls outside the overall pattern.


    How far outside the overall pattern does a value have to fall to be
    considered a suspected outlier?

    Suspected low outlier: any value < Q1 1.5 IQR

    Suspected high outlier: any value > Q3 + 1.5 IQR

    DETECT suspects: Calculation: Grubbs Test
    ISO test for point outliers
    suspect value is value that is furthest away from mean
    Normal population
    Use entire dataset to calculate statistics
    Gcritical depends on n
    If G exp> Gcritical value, then REJECT suspect

    example

    The following values were got for the nitrate concentration (mg/L) in a
    sample of river water:

    0.403 0.410 0.401 0.380

    Ideally get more measurements if suspect occurs, esp. if only a few made.
    the more values may make it clearer if suspect should be rejected
    Also if kept, reduce its effect.
    if 3 further measurements...

    0.403 0.410 0.401 0.380 0.400 0.413 0.408
