Identification of Outliers in Multivariate Data

Open access
Rocke, David M., Woodruff, David L.·1996·Journal of the American Statistical Association

Abstract

New insights are given into why the problem of detecting multivariate outliers can be difficult and why the difficulty increases with the dimension of the data. Significant improvements in methods for detecting outliers are described, and extensive simulation experiments demonstrate that a hybrid method extends the practical boundaries of outlier detection capabilities. Based on simulation results and examples from the literature, the question of what levels of contamination can be detected by this algorithm as a function of dimension, computation time, sample size, contamination fraction, and distance of the contamination from the main body of data is investigated. Software to implement the methods is available from the authors and STATLIB.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
