Dixon's Ratio Test for Outlier Detection

For outlier detection in small and normally distributed samples the ratio test of Dixon (Q-test) can be used. Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for Dixon's ratio statistics are provided as wrapper functions. The core applies McBane's Fortran functions that use Gaussian quadrature for a numerical solution.
