Outlier Detection in Multivariate Time Series by Projection Pursuit
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we use projection pursuit methods to develop a procedure for detecting outliers in a multivariate time series. We show that testing for outliers in some projection directions can be more powerful than testing the multivariate series directly. The optimal directions for detecting outliers are found by numerical optimization of the kurtosis coefficient of the projected series. We propose an iterative procedure to detect and handle multiple outliers based on a univariate search in these optimal directions. In contrast with the existing methods, the proposed procedure can identify outliers without prespecifying a vector ARMA model for the data. The good performance of the proposed method is illustrated in a Monte Carlo study and in a real data analysis.

متن کاملIdentification of outliers types in multivariate time series using genetic algorithm
Multivariate time series data, often, modeled using vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) model. But presence of outliers can violates the stationary assumption and may lead to wrong modeling, biased estimation of parameters and inaccurate prediction. Thus, detection of these points and how to deal properly with them, especially in relation to modeling and parameter estimation of VARMA m...
متن کاملODMC: Outlier Detection on Multivariate Time Series Data based on Clustering
Outlier detection on time series data plays an import role in life. In this paper we propose a method of outlier detection on time series data mainly aiming at the multivariate type. The improved ant colony algorithm is used for data clustering in the purpose of the classification of the time series data. Both the distance of inner-clusters and inter-clusters are considered to ensure the accura...
متن کاملOutlier detection for skewed data
Most outlier detection rules for multivariate data are based on the assumption of elliptical symmetry of the underlying distribution. We propose an outlier detection method which does not need the assumption of symmetry and does not rely on visual inspection. Our method is a generalization of the Stahel-Donoho outlyingness. The latter approach assigns to each observation a measure of outlyingne...
متن کاملComputationally Easy Outlier Detection via Projection Pursuit with Finitely Many Directions
Outlier detection methods are fundamental to all of data analysis. They are desirably robust, affine invariant, and computationally easy in any dimension. The powerful projection pursuit approach yields the “projection outlyingness”, which is affine invariant and highly robust and does not impose ellipsoidal contours like the Mahalanobis distance approach. However, it is highly computationally ...
