The outliers would greatly change the estimate of location if the arithmetic average were to be used as a summary statistic of location. The problem is that the arithmetic mean is very sensitive to the inclusion of any outliers; in statistical terminology, the arithmetic mean is not robust.
An outlier is an observation which deviates so much from the other observations as to arouse suspicions that it was generated by a different mechanism. [ 2 ] Anomalies are instances or collections of data that occur very rarely in the data set and whose features differ significantly from most of the data.
A simple example is fitting a line in two dimensions to a set of observations. Assuming that this set contains both inliers, i.e., points which approximately can be fitted to a line, and outliers, points which cannot be fitted to this line, a simple least squares method for line fitting will generally produce a line with a bad fit to the data including inliers and outliers.
This enables CURE to correctly identify the clusters and makes it less sensitive to outliers. Running time is O( n 2 log n ), making it rather expensive, and space complexity is O( n ). The algorithm cannot be directly applied to large databases because of the high runtime complexity.
Local outlier detection reconsidered: a generalized view on locality with applications to spatial, video, and network outlier detection [4] discusses the general pattern in various local outlier detection methods (including, e.g., LOF, a simplified version of LOF and LoOP) and abstracts from this into a general framework. This framework is then ...
[7] [8] [9] If the data contains potential outliers, if the population distributions have heavy tails, or if the population distributions are significantly skewed, the Kruskal-Wallis test is more powerful at detecting differences among treatments than ANOVA F-test. On the other hand, if the population distributions are normal or are light ...
The potential for losing this information creates issues for reproducibility. To address these challenges, it is essential to have analysis scripts written for automated, reproducible workflows. Additionally, dynamic documentation is crucial, providing reports that are understandable by both machines and humans, ensuring accurate representation ...
The modified Thompson Tau test is used to find one outlier at a time (largest value of δ is removed if it is an outlier). Meaning, if a data point is found to be an outlier, it is removed from the data set and the test is applied again with a new average and rejection region. This process is continued until no outliers remain in a data set.
