This paper presents a FORTRAN program which computes the rejection criteria of ten procedures for detecting outlying observations. These ten criteria are defined on comment cards. Appropriate journal sources for the statistical equations are listed in the bibliography. After applying the rejection rules for outliers, the program calculates the mean and standard deviation of the censored sample.
