Comments

This function removes outliers in a 1D data set and replaces those values with either the rolling mean or zero. The function can be instructed to remove up to a maximum number of points until the standard deviation of the data set falls below a target value.

System Requirements

Should be compatible with all recent versions of DigitalMicrograph.

Known Issues

Each time an outlier is removed, it is replaced with the mean of the remaining points (or zero). The rolling mean will change as points are removed. The script shows how to identify which points have been changed by displaying the original data, the cleaned data and a binary image showing which pixels have been changed.
