Figure 1. Box plot of data from the MichelsonâMorley experiment displaying four outliers in the middle column, as well as one outlier in the first column. In statistics, an outlier is an observation point that is distant from other observations. An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set. Outliers can occur by chance in any distribution, but they often indicate either measurement error or that the population has a heavy-tailed distribution.
