These points are known as outliers and, as usual, you can't always rely on your intuition to detect whether a value is an outlier or not. There are tests that can highlight them and statistical software such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/clooma.ai\/en\/data-analysis-solutions\/\">Ellistat<\/a>&nbsp;to help you with the calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a statistical point of view, an outlier is a value that does not belong to the normal distribution of the data. It can arise from :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A measurement or copying error (forgetting the decimal point)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A special cause, such as a piece not washed before measuring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All statistical calculations using the properties of the normal law (statistical tests, capability calculations, out-of-tolerance % calculations) are very sensitive to the presence of outliers, so it's important to understand their origin and eliminate them before using these calculations. Non-parametric statistical tests may also be used, as they are much less sensitive to outliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two main tests are used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Test_Q\">Dixon test<\/a>\u00a0very interesting when the number of data is low (&lt;30)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Test_de_Grubbs\">Grubbs test<\/a>\u00a0can be used in all cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dixon test<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clooma.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Test-de-Dixon.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1199\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To use the Dixon test, calculate the ratio :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>b = Overall measurement range (here 14.1)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a = The distance between the part suspected of being an outlier and its nearest neighbor (here 8.6)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The ratio is calculated in %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report is then compared with Dixon's table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>&nbsp;<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Number of parts<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>10<\/td><td>16<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maximum ratio<\/td><td>0.94<\/td><td>0.72<\/td><td>0.46<\/td><td>0.38<\/td><td>0.34<\/td><td>0.30<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the value is less than the maximum ratio suggested by the table, then the value is not an outlier. Here, the ratio of 62% for 5 pieces is less than 72%. The point is therefore not an outlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grubb test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the Grubb test, we first calculate :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>X: Average of all measurements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>S: Standard deviation of all measurements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G: Distance between the value suspected of being an outlier and the mean G.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"wp-katex-eq\" data-display=\"false\">G=\\frac{(Value - X)}{S}<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clooma.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Test-de-Grubb.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1198\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The G value obtained is then compared to a limit G :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"wp-katex-eq\" data-display=\"false\">G_{limite}=\\frac{N-1}{\\sqrt{N}}.\\sqrt{\\frac{t^2_{\\frac{a}{N},N-2}{}}{N-2 +t^2{}_{\\frac{a}{n}}{,} N-2}}<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If G&gt;G limit, the value is considered an outlier, and vice versa.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When analyzing a series of data, we are sometimes confronted with values that do not appear to be part of the normal distribution of the data.
