Im asking how to get the ones that dont fall near the avg.... so for example lets say i have the following distances: 10,11,12,11,10,9,9,10,11,12,10,11,99
then 99 would be an outlier. the avg would be like 16 or 17 i reckon with the 99. so i want a way to find aan outlier, remove it and then recalcuate the avg...and then i'd get a 'better' avg..... i did some seraching about outliers and most of hits are about R or spss or some other statistical package.....so looking for a way to do it wholly in pgsql.
