Functional outlier detection methods.

Description

Functional outlier detection methods.

Usage

foutliers(data, method = c("robMah", "lrt", "depth.trim", "depth.pond", 
 "HUoutliers"), dfunc = depth.mode, nb = 200, suav = 0.05, trim = 0.1, 
  order = 2, lambda = 3.29,...)

Arguments

data	An object of class fds or fts.
method	Outlier detection method.
dfunc	When method = "lrt" or method = "depth.trim" or method = "depth.pond", users can specify the type of depth functions with possible choices of depth.FM, depth.mode, depth.RP, depth.RPD.
nb	When method = "lrt", users can specify the number of bootstrap samples.
suav	When method = "lrt", users can specify the smoothing parameter used in the smoothed bootstrap samples to determine the cutoff value.
trim	When method = "lrt" or method = "depth.trim" or method = "depth.pond", users can specify the trimming percentage.
order	When method = "HUoutliers", users can specify the number of principal components.
lambda	When method = "HUoutliers", users can specify the value of tuning parameter.
...	Other arguments.

Details

When method = "lrt", the outlier detection method corresponds to the approach of Febrero et al. (2007) using the likelihood ratio test.

When method = "depth.trim", the outlier detection method corresponds to the approach of Febrero et al. (2008) using the functional depth with trimmed curves.

When method = "depth.pond", the outlier detection method corresponds to the approach of Febrero et al. (2008) using the functional depth with all curves.

When method = "HUoutliers", the outlier detection method corresponds to the approach of Hyndman and Ullah (2008) using the integrated square forecast errors.

When method = "robMah", the outlier detection method corresponds to the approach of Rousseeuw and Leroy (1987) using the robust Mahalanobis distance.

Value

A list containing the following components is returned.

outliers	Detected outliers.
cutoff	Threshold value to separate outliers from non-outliers, when method = "lrt", method = "depth.trim", and method = "depth.pond".
depth.total	Depth measure of each functional curve.
depth.out	Depth measure of functional outliers.
