Outlier processing

 

Handling method of outliers:

Delete records with outliers:directly delete records with outliers;

Treat as missing value:treat outlier as missing value, and use the missing value processing method to process;

Correction of outliers:the outliers can be corrected by the endpoint value or the average of the two observed values;

Labeling outliers: By creating new variables, outliers are labeled for further analysis or processing

No processing:data mining directly on datasets with outliers;

Correction outliers

In SPL, A.sert()and P.sert(cn) can automatically correct outliers. For example, an outlier correction was made to the variable "Fare" in the Titanic data.


A

1

=file("D://titanic.csv").import@qtc()

2

=A1.sert@c("Fare")

A2 Corrects the outlier in the Fare variable, returns the correction result and the correction record Rec, @c indicates that the original data is modified.

Labeling outliers

For example, the "Fare" variable in titanic.csv is labeled with outliers as 3 standard deviations (z=3) and 5 standard deviations (z=5), respectively.


A

1

=file("D://titanic.csv").import@qtc()

2

=A1.avg(Fare)

3

=sqrt(var@s(A1.(Fare)))

4

=A1.derive((Fare-A2)/A3:Fare_z,if(Fare_z>3,1,if(Fare_z<-3,-1,0)):Fare_z3,if(Fare_z>5,1,if(Fare_z<-5,-1,0)):Fare_z5)

A2 Calculate the mean of Fare

A3 Calculate the standard deviation of Fare

A4 Calculate the z-score of Fare, denoted Fare_z, and label outliers according to the z-value. Z-values greater than 3 are marked as 1, z-values less than -3 are marked as -1, others are marked as 0, and the variable is marked as Fare_z3; Z-values greater than 5 are marked as 1, z-values less than -5 are marked as -1, others are marked as 0, and the variable is marked as Fare_z5
