Using the three sigma threshold during a PAAT session

The three sigma threshold is a value that represents the mean plus three times the standard deviation. Any residual value that is greater than the three sigma threshold is very likely to be an outlier. The point should be revisited to determine whether it needs to be reread or made inactive.

Any points with total residual values more than three sigma above the mean are flagged in the PAAT Results dialog box.
