Study Notes
Handling Outliers
- Extreme values are reported as outliers, and the boundary for detection needs to be fixed.
Steps to Detect Outliers
- Measure of position to be used for detection of outliers includes decile, percentile, and quartile.
Quartile
- Division of data into 4 equal parts.
- Q1: 25% of students are below the value of Q1.
- Q2 (Median): 50% of students are below the value of Q2.
- Q3: 75% of students are below the value of Q3.
Calculation of Inter Quartile Range (IQR)
- IQR = Q3 - Q1.
Criteria for Outliers
- Criteria 1: Values less than Q1 - 1.5*IQR are treated as outliers.
- Criteria 2: Values more than Q3 + 1.5*IQR are treated as outliers.
Steps to Find and Report Outliers
- Calculate the number of outliers from both criteria.
- Report the total number of outliers detected for each variable in the data set.
Reporting Outliers Visually via Box Plot
- Use Python library to create a new variable, such as
Df["total"] = df["read"] + df['write'].
