If type="standard": Function deletes entries for which the mid-quote deviated by more than "maxi" median absolute deviations from a rolling centered median (excluding the observation under consideration) of "window" observations.
If type="advanced": Function deletes entries for which the mid-quote deviates by more than "maxi" median absolute deviations from the value closest to the mid-quote of these three options:
Rolling centered median (excluding the observation under consideration)
Rolling median of the following "window" observations
Rolling median of the previous "window" observations
The advantage of this procedure compared to the "standard" proposed by Barndorff-Nielsen et al. (2010) is that it will not incorrectly remove large price jumps. Therefore this procedure has been set as the default for removing outliers.
Note that the median absolute deviation is taken over the entire sample. In case it is zero (which can happen if mid-quotes don't change much), the median absolute deviation is taken over a subsample without constant mid-quotes.
1 | rmOutliers(qdata,maxi=10,window=50,type="advanced")
|
qdata |
an xts object at least containing the columns "BID" and "OFR". |
maxi |
an integer, indicating the maximum number of median absolute deviations allowed. |
window |
an integer, indicating the time window for which the "outlyingness" is considered. |
type |
should be "standard" or "advanced" (see description). |
xts object
NOTE: This function works only correct if supplied input data consists of 1 day.
