RBR+TVBR INFOCUS: Behind Nielsen Audio’s ‘Outliers’

0

The definition of an “outlier,” in the world of mathematics, is “an observation point that is distant from observations. An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set.”
