What Does Outlier Detection Mean?

Outlier detection is the process of detecting and subsequently excluding outliers from a given set of data.

Techopedia Explains Outlier Detection

There is really no standardized and rigid mathematical method for determining an outlier because it really varies depending on the set or data population, so its determination and detection ultimately becomes subjective. Through continuous sampling in a given data field, characteristics of an outlier may be established to make detection easier.
