Would it help to remove every outlier from the original data set and compute after that?

    I'd consider high PO:FR a statistical certainty if the majority of samples (over a predetermined fixed period) shows a 15:1 or higher ratio. I have only been looking at this extreme case, but I actually don't think you could, since the outlier is significant (it proves a real thing - that momentary thrashing is occurring) - and calculating the ratio of the average factors that in.
