Open, NormalPublic

Description

Add a feature to detect outliers in a data set. See e.g.

http://eurekastatistics.com/using-mahalanobis-distance-to-find-outliers

and the papers cited therein.

Provide the access in the context menu of Column to this functionality. Open a dialog to show the found outliers and ask the user what to do with them:

  1. mask them
  2. remove them
  3. do nothing

Alternatively, finding of the outliers can be implemented as a new analysis function in the plot/curve.
