Should you remove outliers in time series?
Most statisticians will agree that you should only remove outliers when they can be truly be considered aberrant. Moreover, in time series models, outliers should be further investigated to ensure they are not part of a seasonal (or other cyclical) trend that pops up every so often and may appear as an aberrant value.
How to detect outliers in time series data?
The package detects 5 different types of outliers iteratively in time series data: What is even more great is that this package implements auto.arima from forecast package so detecting outliers is seamless. Also the package produces nice plots for better understanding of the time series data.
How to deal with missing values and outliers?
First, we could just take the section of data after the last missing value, assuming there is a long enough series of observations to produce meaningful forecasts. Alternatively, we could replace the missing values with estimates.
When did Chen and Liu publish time series outlier detection?
Comments: Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to the author of the new tsoutliers package which implements Chen and Liu’s time series outlier detection which was published in the Journal of the American Statistical Association in 1993 in Open Source software R.
Can a program detect a temporary change outlier?
Additive outliers and level shift are intuitive. However, I had 2 questions with regards to handing Temporary Change outlier and Innovational outliers which I’m unable to understand. The program rightly detects a level shift and a temporary change at the following location. Below is the plot and my questions.
