Claim One:
1. A computer implemented data processing method, comprising: obtaining from a coating analysis device multiple measurements of spectral reflectance data from a coated surface having a target coating thereon; a computer system performing, using a processor, a statistical outlier test on the multiple measurements of spectral reflectance data, wherein the statistical outlier test comprises: calculating a statistical analysis of the multiple measurements of spectral reflectance data at each respective angle and wavelength combination within each measurement, determining a total number of potential statistical outliers associated with the multiple measurements of spectral reflectance data at each respective angle and wavelength combination for each respective measurement, and when the total number of potential statistical outliers for a particular measurement exceeds a tolerance, generating final spectral reflectance data by excluding data from the particular measurement; removing, using the processor, at least a portion of the spectral reflectance data within the final spectral reflectance data that falls outside of a pre-defined acceptable tolerance range; and calculating, using the processor, a characteristic of the target coating based at least in part on the final spectral reflectance data.
