IQR method explained

The IQR (Interquartile Range) method defines outliers as values below Q1 − 1.5×IQR or above Q3 + 1.5×IQR. This is the method used by box plots. It's robust to extreme values and works well for skewed distributions.

Z-score method explained

A Z-score measures how many standard deviations a value is from the mean. Values with |Z| > 3 are typically considered outliers. This method assumes a roughly normal distribution.

Which method should I use?

Use IQR for skewed data or when you don't know the distribution. Use Z-score for roughly normal data. When in doubt, run both and compare.
