Find value with largest difference from the mean
Description:
Finds value with largest difference between it and sample mean,
which can be an outlier.
Usage:
[out] = outlier(x,opposite,logical)
Arguments:
x: a data sample, vector in most cases. If argument is a
matrix, each column is treated as independent dataset.
opposite: if set to 1 (default 0), gives opposite value (if largest value has
maximum difference from the mean, it gives smallest and vice
versa)
logical: if set to 1 (default 0), gives vector of logical values, and possible
outlier position is marked by 1, others are 0
Value:
A vector of value(s) with largest difference from the mean.
