Outlier test for a group of multivariate observations
Authors
Abstract:
Assume that we have m independent random samples each of size n from Np(; ) and our goal is to test whether or not the ith sample is an outlier (i=1,2,…..m). To date it is well known that a test statistics exist whose null distribution is Betta and given the relationship between Betta and F distribution, an F test statistic can be used. In the statistical literature however a clear and precise proof is not accessible and in some cases the proof is incomplete. In this paper a precise and relatively clear proof is given and through simulation, capability and weakness of the test is considered.

A statistical test for outlier identification in data envelopment analysis
In the use of peer group data to assess individual, typical or best practice performance, the effective detection of outliers is critical for achieving useful results. In these ‘‘deterministic’’ frontier models, statistical theory is now mostly available. This paper deals with the statistical pared sample method and its capability of detecting outliers in data envelopment analysis. In the prese...
full textSequential Application of Multivariate Outlier Test : a Robust Approach
Identification of outliers in multivariate data is not trivial. especially when there exists several outliers in the data. The classical identification method based on the sample mean and sample covariance matrix cannot always find them, because the classicd rnean and covariance matris are themselves affected by outliers. This problem is termed as masting7 because the outliers get maslied by ea...
full textA Multivariate Outlier Detection Method
A method for the detection of multivariate outliers is proposed which accounts for the data structure and sample size. The cut-off value for identifying outliers is defined by a measure of deviation of the empirical distribution function of the robust Mahalanobis distance from the theoretical distribution function. The method is easy to implement and fast to compute.
full textMultivariate Spatial Outlier Detection
A spatial outlier is a spatially referenced object whose non-spatial attribute values are significantly different from the values of its neighborhood. Identification of spatial outliers can lead to the discovery of unexpected, interesting, and useful spatial patterns for further analysis. Previous work in spatial outlier detection focuses on detecting spatial outliers with a single attribute. I...
full textMultivariate functional outlier detection
Functional data are occurring more and more often in practice, and various statistical techniques have been developed to analyze them. In this paper we consider multivariate functional data, where for each curve and each time point a p-dimensional vector of measurements is observed. For functional data the study of outlier detection has started only recently, and was mostly limited to univariat...
