Description: The statistical distribution of outliers within a dataset refers to the identification and analysis of those data points that deviate significantly from the general trend of the set. These outliers can arise for various reasons, such as measurement errors, natural variations in the data, or extraordinary events. Detecting these values is crucial, as they can influence the results of statistical analyses, distorting the mean and other descriptive parameters. In the field of statistics, various techniques are used to identify these outliers, such as Tukey’s method, which employs the interquartile range, or the use of standard deviations. Correctly identifying outliers allows analysts to make more informed and accurate decisions, improving the quality of predictive models and data interpretation. Furthermore, the distribution of these values can provide valuable insights into the variability and structure of the dataset, helping to better understand the phenomena being studied.
