The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis that software piracy rats are lower in more intelligent nations. Thus, we econometrically estimate the effect of national IQ on software piracy rates, using data for 102 nations for the year 2011. Our findings offer strong support for the assertion that intelligence is inversely related to the software piracy rates. After controlling for the poten...

Data objects which differ significantly from the remaining data objects are referred to as outliers. Density-based algorithms for mining outliers are very effective in detecting all forms of outliers, where data objects with fewer neighbors are likely to be outliers than are those with more neighbors. However, existing density-based algorithms engage in huge repetitive computation and compariso...

Successfully detecting outliers in multivariate data requires statistical and programming skills and can be very time consuming. Requests for outlier detection can come from different skills groups therefore it is more efficient and effective to allow users to interact directly with the data themselves. We have developed an interactive, web based data visualization application for outlier detec...
