The book is a collection of different aspects of outliers and related topics written by experts. Topics covered include definition of outliers, their sources, consequences, identification, computational and robustness issues, handling of outliers in diversified areas of statistics such as univariate and multivariate data, linear and generalized linear models, time series, linear functional and structural models, circular data, spatial data, big data, high dimensional data, multi-view data. The book emphasizes the importance of outliers, and will appeal to workers in Data Mining; which is one of the fastest-growing business applications of statistics. The book makes outlier detection methods widely usable by practitioners. Examples are drawn from various fields.
