What is another word for isotopic ratio outlier analysis?
Pronunciation: [ˌa͡ɪsətˈɒpɪk ɹˈe͡ɪʃɪˌə͡ʊ ˈa͡ʊtlˌa͡ɪ͡əɹ ɐnˈaləsˌɪs] (IPA) 
Isotopic ratio outlier analysis is a statistical technique that allows the identification of data that deviates significantly from a given sample set's average. However, there are several other terms that can be used interchangeably for this same process. Some of these synonyms include isotopic excursion analysis, outlier detection, outlier analysis, and isotopic signature analysis. These terms all refer to the same underlying methodology of identifying and removing data points that are anomalous within a specific sample set. Whether referred to as isotopic ratio outlier analysis or one of its many other names, the goal of this process remains the same - to identify and isolate data that fall outside of the expected range and to determine potential underlying causes for those discrepancies.
