👉 Brushoffs are a type of data analysis technique used to identify outliers in a dataset. They involve randomly selecting a subset of observations and calculating their mean, median, or mode. The goal is to find values that deviate significantly from other observed values. This can be useful for identifying potential anomalies or outliers in the data. In statistics, it is often applied to financial data such as stock prices or credit scores, where it helps identify unusual values that are not typical of the rest of the population.
