OutlierFlag: A Tool for Scientific Data Quality Control by Outlier Data Flagging

Scientific datasets collected by instruments usually include outliers which have to be flagged in data quality control process. OutlierFlag was developed to make this process accurate and simple by providing a suitable outlier data flagging algorithm and a user friendly GUI. The algorithm consists o...
