Full Description

1.1This practice provides a step by step procedure for the application of the Generalized Extreme Studentized Deviate (GESD) Many-Outlier Procedure to simultaneously identify multiple outliers in a data set. (See Bibliography.)

1.2This practice is applicable to a data set comprising observations that is represented on a continuous numerical scale.

1.3This practice is applicable to a data set comprising a minimum of six observations.

1.4This practice is applicable to a data set where the normal (Gaussian) model is reasonably adequate for the distributional representation of the observations in the data set.

1.5The probability of false identification of outliers associated with the decision criteria set by this practice is 0.01.

1.6It is recommended that the execution of this practice be conducted under the guidance of personnel familiar with the statistical principles and assumptions associated with the GESD technique.

1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
