Calculate skewing data in a XY scatter plot

Joe
This probably isn't the right group for this kind of question but I figured
I would take a shot...

I want to remove points that skew a scatter plot. For example 20 data points
are around -75 to 100 on the Y axis but a couple of points are at 1500 and a
couple at -500

How would I figure which points should be removed? Of course I want to
remove the 1500's and -500's.

Thanks in advance.

You could try to calculate the mean value and standard deviation of all
points and remove points that are outside of mean +/- deviation. Repeat
these steps until you are pleased with the result.

Thanks.

Could you possibly provide me with an example? I don't know how to get the
standard deviation.
My math skills are limited to 1 + 2 = 4 ;)

Thanks again.

There is a good explanation on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation
Just scroll down to the example and skip the rest.

I'm not sure how welcome such a discussion is in a c# newsgroup. It would
better fit into a math group. You can also mail me privately if you need
more help on it.

Hi, I have a dictionairy containing DateTime objects as keys and integers as values. What would be the easiest way to create a simple plot of these, with a number axis versus a time axis? What library is the most suitable for this? 'plot' on parnassus yields 18 hits, but since I have zero experience, I don't know where to start. What makes it difficult is that I have a time axis instead of a simple integer x-axis. Gnuplot doesn't seem...
