Multivariate outlier detection based on a robust Mahalanobis distance with shrinkage estimators
A collection of robust Mahalanobis distances for multivariate outlier detection is proposed, based on the notion of shrinkage. Robust intensity and scaling factors are optimally estimated to define the shrinkage. Some properties are investigated, such as affine equivariance and breakdown value. The performance of the proposal is illustrated through the comparison to other techniques from the literature, in a simulation study and with a real dataset. The behavior when the underlying distribution is heavytailed or skewed, shows the appropriateness of the method when we deviate from the common assumption of normality. The resulting high true positive rates and low false positive rates in the vast majority of cases, as well as the significantly smaller computation time show the advantages of our proposal.

Multivariate outlier explanations using Shapley values and Mahalanobis distances
For the purpose of explaining multivariate outlyingness, it is shown that the squared Mahalanobis distance of an observation can be decomposed into outlyingness contributions originating from single variables. The decomp…
Outlier InterpretationPositionEdgewise outliers of network indexed signals
We consider models for network indexed multivariate data involving a dependence between variables as well as across graph nodes. In the framework of these models, we focus on outliers detection and introduce the concept …
Outlier DetectionWhy Out-of-distribution Detection in CNNs Does Not Like Mahalanobis -- and What to Use Instead
Convolutional neural networks applied for real-world classification tasks need to recognize inputs that are far or out-of-distribution (OoD) with respect to the known or training data. To achieve this, many methods estim…
