Station Residual Outlier Sigma Flagger

Flag stations whose travel-time residuals exceed k standard deviations of the set.

Description

Flag stations whose travel-time residuals exceed k standard deviations of the set.

Station Residual Outlier Sigma Flagger is a focused tool for the following task. Flag stations whose travel-time residuals exceed k standard deviations of the set. It reports idx, σ from the values you provide rather than inventing measurements, coefficients, or professional judgment that are not part of the input.

When to use Station Residual Outlier Sigma Flagger

Use this seismology calculation to reproduce a stated convention, screen observations, or compare scenarios whose units, coordinate conventions, catalog selection, and model assumptions are known.

r_i
Required list. Station residuals.
k
Optional number. Outlier threshold in sigmas.

The cited overview of Seismometer supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.1

How Station Residual Outlier Sigma Flagger works

Flag stations whose travel-time residuals exceed k standard deviations of the set. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.

idx
Returned list. Zero-based indices of outliers.
σ (s)
Returned number in s. Sample standard deviation.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Earth structure, source geometry, path effects, site response, instrument response, catalog completeness, uncertainty, and the fitted range can dominate the accuracy of simplified seismic calculations.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

For analysis or hazard decisions, retain uncertainty and provenance and compare the result with waveform processing, calibrated regional models, and guidance from qualified seismologists or the responsible agency.
