چکیده
Only extremely large rates are flagged, not extremely small ones, because only large values will have a major influence on statistics involving pounds of pesticide use. What value to use for the maximum rate in each criterion is somewhat arbitrary; the value determines how conservative one wants to be. We chose maximum rates to be close to what were considered obvious outliers by a group of scientists in a survey described below in the description of the neural network criteria.

متن کاملTwo-stage method to remove population- and individual-level outliers from longitudinal data in a primary care database.
PURPOSE: In the UK, primary care databases include repeated measurements of health indicators at the individual level. As these databases encompass a large population, some individuals have extreme values, but some values may also be recorded incorrectly. The challenge for researchers is to distinguish between records that are due to incorrect recording and those which represent true but extrem...
