A method for determining outlier data points in an ordered dataset of values. a) A subset of dataset patterns is selected from a set of mathematical dataset patterns, and b) the subset of dataset patterns is combined into a composite dataset. c) The composite dataset is compared to the ordered dataset of values, and d) a degree of correlation between the composite dataset and the ordered dataset of values is determined. e) Data points within the composite dataset are selectively weighted to improve the degree of correlation, and f) steps a through e are selectively iteratively repeated until the degree of correlation is at least a desired value. g) Residuals for the data points within the composite dataset are selectively determined. h) At least one of (1) the weighted data points within the composite dataset that are weighted within a first specified range, and (2) data points within the composite dataset that have a residual within a second specified range, are selectively output as outlier data points.
