rmoutlier

PURPOSE ^

% Remove the value(s) most differing from the mean

SYNOPSIS ^

function [res] = rmoutlier(x,fill,median,opposite)

DESCRIPTION ^

% Remove the value(s) most differing from the mean
% 
% Description:
% 
%      This function can remove the outliers or replace by sample mean or median.
% 
% Usage:
% 
%      [res] = rmoutlier(x,fill,median,opposite)
% 
% Arguments:
% 
%        x: a dataset, most frequently a vector. If argument is a
%           matrix, each column is treated as independent dataset. 
% 
%     fill: If set to 1 (default 0), the median or mean is placed instead of
%           outlier. Otherwise,  the outlier(s) is/are simply removed. 
% 
%   median: If set to 1 (default 0), median is used instead of mean in outlier
%           replacement. 
% 
% opposite: if set to 1 (default 0), replaces opposite value (if largest value has
%           maximum difference from the mean, it replaces smallest and vice
%           versa)
% 
% Value:
% 
%      A dataset of the same type as argument, with outlier(s) removed or
%      replaced by appropriate means or medians.
