Grubbs' test provides a statistical method for detecting outliers in datasets. The presence of abnormal data points can significantly impact the accuracy of computational results. Therefore, we need to examine input data and eliminate gross errors to ensure data reliability. This process typically requires computer program implementation, where we calculate the Grubbs' statistic G = |suspect value - mean| / standard deviation and compare it against critical values from statistical tables. When processing large datasets, automated outlier detection and removal methods can greatly improve efficiency and accuracy. The implementation typically involves calculating mean and standard deviation, iterating through data points, and removing values that exceed the Grubbs' threshold. It's crucial to note that while removing gross errors, valid data must be preserved to maintain result reliability, often requiring multiple iterations with adjusted thresholds.
