Finding Outliers
Last updated
What is Finding Outliers?
Outliers are data points that differ significantly from the rest of the dataset. They can result from data entry errors, measurement anomalies, or genuine extreme values. Detecting outliers using statistical methods (z-scores, IQR) or visualization (box plots, scatter plots) is necessary before deciding whether to remove, transform, or investigate them further.
