Outlier definition

Post by KHJENSEN »

Hi!
I've been playing around with various boxplots, and I was wondering how Jamovi defines outliers in a data set?
I've normally seen them defined as data points above or below 1.5 x IQR, but I'm not sure this is what Jamovi does.

Cheers!

Hi, @KHJENSEN.

Here you find an old answer that could be the one you are looking for:

Hi Maurizio,

That is exactly it. Thank you :)
I searched through old posts, but I only used the search word 'outlier', which is probably why I didn't come across this.

Thanks once again!
