Julio Banks Proposes - Mathcad - ABC (AEDC-Banks-Chauvenet) Outlier Removal Criterion

Julio Banks Proposes - Mathcad - ABC (AEDC-Banks-Chauvenet) Outlier Removal Criterion

Dear colleagues, I have used the attached "Outlier Rejection

procedure" for over 20 years to detect outlier data from acquired

thermo-structural tests.

 

I have tried, unsuccessfully, offering the procedure to AEDC (Arnold

 Engineering Development Center) because I use one of the two

Outlier Detection Methods but they have not shown interest.

Therefore, I am donating it to the PTC Community.

 

The method is a simple average of the of AEDC's and Chauvenet's

Outlier detection methods criteria resulting in the formula:

 

C_ABC(n) = (C(n)_AEDC + C(n)_Chauvenet(n)/2

 

Where "n = sample size"

 

Ultimately, entered the numerical results into TableCurve 2D

resulting in the formula provided in the attached workbook.

 

I have successfully used to determine the outlier of:

 

  • Bolt torque (n < 16) in a pipe-to-pipe flange assembly.
  • Metal temperature around turbojet engine inlets, n < 24.
  • Metal temperature around turbojet engine nozzles, n < 18.

 

It is my hope that the community members will utilize the

ABC (AEDC-Banks-Chauvenet) Outlier Rejection Criterion. 

to your particular applications.

 

Enjoy it ☺

The proposed ABC Outlier Detection Criterion is a result of the

interest inspired by the reference article and reading about the

life Leonhard Euler converting me into a maven or mavin).

     Natural Sciences"- is a 1960 article by the physicist.

2) maven (also mavin) is a trusted expert in a particular field,

     who to seeks pass knowledge on to others. The word maven 

     comes from Hebrew, and it means one who understands,

     based  on an accumulation of knowledge”

Methinks you had posted this file here before, hadn't you?

->  Julio Banks proposes - Mathcad - ABC (AEDC-Banks-C... - PTC Community

Dear Werner_E, I have submitted the file before but I needed to replace it

with a file with corrected spelling of the name "Chauvenet". but I did not

find an option to replace the file. Therefore, I corrected the misspelled

name replacing the letter 'a' after the letter 'v' with the correct letter 'e'

as follows:  Chauvenet.

 

Since I noticed that this file appears in Internet searches, I decided

to include the PDF-version of the Mathcad Prime v9.0 for the

convenient viewing by researches not having MC Prime.

 

One additional intention of including the PDF-version is that I personally

believe, without being asked by PTC, promoting Mathcad Prime over the

 alternative software of MatLab and Mathematica. Ideally, I dream of the

day when engineering textbooks would use Mathcad as a substantial

competitive option.

 

Thanks,
