Body voltage testing â also called skin voltage testing â is the most sensitive, accurate and helpful method available to detect electric fields. This is a very important measurement, especially for sensitive individuals.
An outlier can be created by a shift in the location. (mean) or in the scale (variability) of the process. Though an observation in a particular sample might be a. candidate as an outlier, the process might have shifted. Sometimes, the spurious result is a gross recording. error or a measurement error.
Outliers increase the standard deviation. Mean is most affected by outliers, since all values in a sample are given the same weight when calculating mean. A value that is far removed from the mean is going to likely skew your results and increase the standard deviation. Say you have five values: 2, 1, 2, 1.5, and 2.1. Your mean would be 1.72 and your standard deviation would be 0.47.
