robout {dprep} | R Documentation |
This function finds the outliers of a dataset using robust versions of the Mahalanobis distance.
robout(data, nclass, meth = c("mve", "mcd"), rep = 10, plot = TRUE)
data |
The dataset for which outlier detection will be carried out. |
nclass |
An integer value that represents the class to detect for outliers |
meth |
The method used to compute the Mahalanobis distance, "mve"=minimum volume estimator, "mcd"=minimum covariance determinant |
rep |
Number of repetitions |
plot |
A boolean value to turn on and off the scatter plot of the Mahalanobis distances |
Requires uses cov.rob function from the MASS library.
