Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNote on the Comparison of Some Outlier Labeling TechniquesN. P. OlewueziProblem statement: Methods proposed for estimating and resolving outliers are compared. Approach: In this respect, we exploit three well-known classifiers for identifying outliers to establish guidelines for the choice of outlier detection methods. Results: It was shown that the standard deviation is inappropriate to use here because it is highly sensitive to extreme values. Conclusion/Recommendations: The result of these estimated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,261 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDoes Over or Under Dispersion in Inverse Binomial Data Suggest Anything? A Case in Point is the Waiting Time for Both Heart-Lung TransplantsRamalingam ShanmugamThe model is an abstraction of the reality. The selection of the usual inverse binomial as an underlying model for the number of patients waiting in months for heart and lung transplant is questionable because the data exhibit not the required balance between the dispersion and its functional equivalent in terms of the mean but rather an over or under … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2014 · 6,888 accessesView PDF Cite
