Pencilan

Dalam ilmu statistika, sebuah pencilan adalah titik data yang terpaut jauh dari titik data lainnya.^[1]^[2] Pencilan kemungkinan dapat berasal dari variabilitas pengukuran atau galat percobaan. Pencilan akibat galat sering kali diabaikan.^[3] Pencilan dapat mengakibatkan masalah serius dalam analisis statistik.

^ Grubbs 1969, hlm. 1 mengatakan "An outlying observation may be merely an extreme manifestation of the random variability inherent in the data. ... On the other hand, an outlying observation may be the result of gross deviation from prescribed experimental procedure or an error in calculating or recording the numerical value."
