The present code is a Matlab function for outlier (anomaly) detection based on several powerful statistical hypothesis testing techniques:
(1) Wright (Laiyite) criterion
(2) Iglewicz-Hoaglin modified Z-score
(3) Huber-Miller MAD rule
(4) Tukey criterion
(5) Romanowski criterion
(6) Chebyshev criterion
Of course, other methods exist too, but they are not so powerful, or their usage is not straightforward (e.g., Grubbs's test, Dixon's test, Chauvenet's criterion, etc.). Compared with the built-in Matlab function isoutlier, the following correspondences exist – 'Wright' == 'mean'; 'modified Z' == 'median'; 'liberal Tukey' == 'quartiles'. Moreover, the 'grubs' and 'gesd' methods are not implemented in the present function, while 'MAD', 'Romanowski', and 'Chebyshev' methods are not implemented in the built-in function and so they are novel for the Matlab.
Several examples are given to clarify the usage of the function. For convenience, the input and output arguments are given at the beginning of the function.
The code is based on the theory described in:
