Outlier Detection in Multivariate Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of this research is detection of outliers in multivariate data employing various distance measure, particularly using robust regression diagnosis technique. Several classical outlier identification methods are based on the sample mean and covariance matrix in general. But they do not always yield better result, as they themselves are affected by the outliers. Sometimes one outlier point has hide the other outliers. To identify them, methods which have masking effect with outlier points are being used. An appropriate method is adopted to identify the unmasking outliers and also to compare the various distance measures. Mathematics Subject Classification: 62H99, 62J05

Identification 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 کاملChapter 1 OUTLIER DETECTION
Outlier detection is a primary step in many data-mining applications. We present several methods for outlier detection, while distinguishing between univariate vs. multivariate techniques and parametric vs. nonparametric procedures. In presence of outliers, special attention should be taken to assure the robustness of the used estimators. Outlier detection for data mining is often based on dist...
متن کاملOutlier Detection Methods in Multivariate Regression Models
Outlier detection statistics based on two models, the case-deletion model and the mean-shift model, are developed in the context of a multivariate linear regression model. These are generalizations of the univariate Cook’s distance and other diagnostic statistics. Approximate distributions of the proposed statistics are also obtained to get suitable cutoff points for significance tests. In addi...
متن کاملMultivariate outlier detection with compositional data
Multivariate outlier detection is usually based on Mahalanobis distances, by plugging in robust estimates of location and covariance. For compositional data, carrying only relative information, a special transformation needs to be consulted in order to be able to work in the appropriate geometry. The effect of the transformation is discussed in this contribution. Furthermore, different possibil...
