get outliers in array in r

To get outliers in an array in R, you can use the boxplot function, which displays a box-and-whiskers plot of your array's distribution. Outliers can be identified in the plot as points that are beyond the upper or lower "whisker", which represents the range of typical values in the data.

Here's an example of how to use boxplot to get outliers in an array:

main.r
# create example array
my_array <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 100)

# create boxplot of array
boxplot(my_array)

# identify outliers
outliers <- boxplot(my_array)$out

# print outliers
outliers
200 chars
12 lines

In this example, the array contains an outlier value of 100, which is identified as such by the boxplot and stored in the outliers variable.
