Jun 10, 2018 at 16:15 comment added Christoph1234 I am sorry if this was wrongly used. I mean even though we had some statistic courses we never discussed the method of winsorizing data. What I did was that I used the explore function in SPSS, constructed a 97,5% confidence interval of the mean. Then, I received some descriptive statistics and I thought the values below the lower bound and the values above the upper bound are the outliers. Maybe I am completely wrong but that was the way I thought I have to do it.

Jun 9, 2018 at 22:56 comment added Christoph1234 I conducted a 97.5% confidence interval and as I thought the values above 97.5% and below 2.5% are extreme values and in this case outliers
