Portuguese term or phrase: dispersos
This is a table listing the steps for determining the linear working range. I'm guessing this means 'outliers', but it's only a guess and I don't want to get it wrong.

Objetivo: Determinar a faixa linear de trabalho
- Colocar no eixo das abscissas (x) as concentrações do analito e no eixo das ordenadas (y) as respostas das medições.
- Verificar visualmente a existência de **dispersos** que possam interferir na regressão (antes de remover os **dispersos**, fazer determinações nas proximidades das concentrações).
- Calcular o coeficiente de regressão linear conforme 0.1.

outliers
Explanation:
I've read some texts and I got the same impression as you: dispersos = pontos dispersos ; valores dispersos com relação à média / dispersos com relação ao conjunto principal de dados; valores atípicos, anômalos.

Ex.: https://www.google.com.br/url?q=http://portal.anvisa.gov.br/...

This really matches the idea of "outliers":

In the same reference (that by Anvisa), it says that "valores dispersos" can be identified using Teste de CHAUVENET and Teste de COCHRAN, for example.


Then I found this:

"Chauvenet's Criterion - All my data points are outliers?"

Well, that's it.
