Hello all,

I would like to rigorously test whether observations in my dataset are
outliers.  I guess all the main tests in R (Grubbs) impose the assumption
of normality.  My data is surely not normal, so I would like to use
something else.  As far as I can tell from wikipedia, Peirce's criterion is
just that.

The data I am interested in testing is: 1) Continuous on the unit interval
2) Discrete 3) Ordinal on 0 6.  If you need more specifics, (1) refers to
the gini index of inequality, (2) refers to measures for the number of
assasinations, strikes, etc in a country, (3) refers to ranking data of how
politically free a country is.

Does R do this test?

Thanks a lot, and PS I unlike many economists prefer R over Stata R >>>>>
Stata!

Sincerely,
Ryan Murphy
