  11. Hi, STAT-Lers!!!
  12.  
  13. Can anyone give me a reference on this outlier test?
  14.  
  15. Q = ABS(outlier - mean) / ABS(max - min)
  16.  
  17. I haven't been able to find this in any ASTM procedure, QC book, or stat
  18. book.  I suspect that it may be an "engineer's" formula but I thought I'd
  19. check with the experts first.  TIA.
