Peirce: Peirces function to remove outliers

In Peirce: Functions for removing outliers, with illustrations

Description

Remove outliers from a vector based on Peirces criterion.

Usage

Peirce(v, m = 1)

Arguments

v	v vector of numeric values
m	m number of unknown quantities

Details

Calculates R, the maximum allowable absolute error for a value in the vector, and removes those values exceeding this value. m, the ‘number of unknown quantities’, may be treated as the number of independent processes giving rise to errors. For practical purposes m should generally be restricted to 1.

Value

A numeric vector, with outliers removed; ordered by value of absolute error.
