Introducing Grubbs’s test for detecting outliers under neutrosophic statistics – An application to medical data

Abstract

ObjectiveIn this paper, we will introduce the designing of Grubbs’s test under neutrosophic statistics. The proposed test will be a generalization of Grubbs’s test under classical statistics. MethodWe will present the designing and the operational procedure of the proposed test under the neutrosophic statistical interval method. ResultsThe application of the proposed test will be given with the aid of real data from the medical field. ConclusionFrom the comparisons, it is concluded that the proposed test is more effective, informative and flexible than the existing Grubbs’s tests.
