Thread: Outliers of data

I have a project where it is necessary to determine Outliers of lab
results and looking for some pointers on the best way to handle this
type of calculation with PostgreSQL. Possibly an operator? I have no
experience with that. I found some info on the web for calculating
Outliers, here is one of them...

Hi Robert,

You may want to consider the R language interface (pl/R); R (the
language) has great tools for detecting and operating on outliers.
