How do you filter outliers?

We can calculate the mean and standard deviation of a given sample, then calculate the cut-off for identifying outliers as more than 3 standard deviations from the mean. We can then identify outliers as those examples that fall outside of the defined lower and upper limits.

How can outliers be detected and removed?

Outliers can be detected using visualization, implementing mathematical formulas on the dataset, or using the statistical approach.

How do you filter outliers in Excel?

You can do this by following the formula below: Lower range limit = Q1 – (1.5* IQR). Essentially this is 1.5 times the inner quartile range subtracting from your 1st quartile. Higher range limit = Q3 + (1.5*IQR) This is 1.5 times IQR+ quartile 3.
