Considerations on Outliers in Medical Sciences and Materials Characterization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Experimental research in both medical sciences and material science rely in many situations on a reduced quantity of available data, due to limited number of patients or high costs of samples. Some statistical data manipulation methods are discussed regarding their applicability, information content, value and limits. A special attention is given to the extreme values eliminated by the GRUBBS test. The necessity of the elimination of the extreme values is demonstrated.
