| # Calculate 1st and 3rd percentiles, and IQR | |
| Q1 = X_train.quantile(0.25) | |
| Q3 = X_train.quantile(0.75) | |
| IQR = Q3 - Q1 | |
| # Filter out the rows that fall outside the 1.5 threshold in each column | |
| X_train_new = X_train[~((X_train < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (X_train > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR))).any(axis=1)] |
