  2. Robust Regression and Outlier Detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_Regression_and...

    The book has seven chapters. [1] [4] The first is introductory; it describes simple linear regression (in which there is only one independent variable), discusses the possibility of outliers that corrupt either the dependent or the independent variable, provides examples in which outliers produce misleading results, defines the breakdown point, and briefly introduces several methods for robust ...

  3. Dixon's Q test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon's_Q_test

    Where gap is the absolute difference between the outlier in question and the closest number to it. If Q > Q table, where Q table is a reference value corresponding to the sample size and confidence level, then reject the questionable point. Note that only one point may be rejected from a data set using a Q test.

  4. Chauvenet's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvenet's_criterion

    The idea behind Chauvenet's criterion finds a probability band that reasonably contains all n samples of a data set, centred on the mean of a normal distribution.By doing this, any data point from the n samples that lies outside this probability band can be considered an outlier, removed from the data set, and a new mean and standard deviation based on the remaining values and new sample size ...

  5. Local outlier factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_outlier_factor

    The resulting values are quotient-values and hard to interpret. A value of 1 or even less indicates a clear inlier, but there is no clear rule for when a point is an outlier. In one data set, a value of 1.1 may already be an outlier, in another dataset and parameterization (with strong local fluctuations) a value of 2 could still be an inlier.

  6. Cochran's C test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochran's_C_test

    Cochran's test, [1] named after William G. Cochran, is a one-sided upper limit variance outlier statistical test .The C test is used to decide if a single estimate of a variance (or a standard deviation) is significantly larger than a group of variances (or standard deviations) with which the single estimate is supposed to be comparable.

  7. Anomaly detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomaly_detection

    For example, some may be suited to detecting local outliers, while others global, and methods have little systematic advantages over another when compared across many data sets. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] Almost all algorithms also require the setting of non-intuitive parameters critical for performance, and usually unknown before application.

  8. Influential observation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influential_observation

    An outlier may be defined as a data point that differs markedly from other observations. [6] [7] A high-leverage point are observations made at extreme values of independent variables. [8] Both types of atypical observations will force the regression line to be close to the point. [2]

  9. Robust regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_regression

    The simplest methods of estimating parameters in a regression model that are less sensitive to outliers than the least squares estimates, is to use least absolute deviations. Even then, gross outliers can still have a considerable impact on the model, motivating research into even more robust approaches.
