Would it be useful at all to use the idea of standard deviation? I don't
have a specific term in mind, but a particular outlier could be described as
being so many s. dev.'s from the median. (With this in mind, I suppose the
outliers could be called "deviates," but this term leaves something to be
desired.) :)
