How do you determine the bin size? ntpd has an interesting filter in that area. For refclocks where it has many samples, it sorts them, then discards roughly 1/3 of them as outliers. The code is simple. Compute the average then check the first and last samples to see which is farther away. Drop it, iterate. -- These are my opinions.
