A complete process circle for achieving a candidate data set for linear fit with reference to the second item (30) of the data set.

Legend:**: Reference data point.‡: Term identified as the outlier in the relevant iteration.*x: Removed in the relevant iteration and not considered for the next iteration.Detection process must be conducted considering each term as a reference point. However, in this example shows calculations only with reference to the second item. In the first iteration MMS(aTT)max|2 > 2/n and fulfils the detection condition. Thus, in the first iteration amax|2TT is the term that not agrees with the linear fit. Therefore, (8, 41.81) was removed and excluded from the calculations in second iteration. This process was continued until the termination condition (amax| 2TT = 0 and amin| 2TT = 0) is reached in fourth iteration. Note that in this example, k = 0 and r = 2. Also, see S1 File for better understanding on the calculation process.
