Robust clustering around regression lines with high density regions

Robust methods are needed to fit regression lines when outliers are present. In a clustering framework, outliers can be extreme observations, high leverage points, but also data points which lie among the groups. Outliers are also of paramount importance in the analysis of international trade data, which motivate our work, because they may provide information about anomalies like fraudulent transactions. In this paper we show that robust techniques can fail when a large proportion of non-contaminated observations fall in a small region, which is a likely occurrence in many international trade data sets. In such instances, the effect of a high-density region is so strong that it can override the benefits of trimming and other robust devices. We propose to solve the problem by sampling a much smaller subset of observations which preserves the cluster structure and retains the main outliers of the original data set. This goal is achieved by defining the retention probability of each point as an inverse function of the estimated density function for the whole data set. We motivate our proposal as a thinning operation on a point pattern generated by different components. We then apply robust clustering methods to the thinned data set for the purposes of classification and outlier detection. We show the advantages of our method both in empirical applications to international trade examples and through a simulation study.     

Robust estimation in joint mean–covariance regression model for longitudinal data

In this paper, we develop robust estimation for the mean and covariance jointly for the regression model of longitudinal data within the framework of generalized estimating equations (GEE). The proposed approach integrates the robust method and joint mean–covariance regression modeling. Robust generalized estimating equations using bounded scores and leverage-based weights are employed for the mean and covariance to achieve robustness against outliers. The resulting estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. Simulation studies are conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. As expected, the robust method outperforms its non-robust version under contaminations. Finally, we illustrate by analyzing a hormone data set. By downweighing the potential outliers, the proposed method not only shifts the estimation in the mean model, but also shrinks the range of the innovation variance, leading to a more reliable estimation in the covariance matrix.

Diagnostic Plots for Robust Multivariate Methods

Robust techniques for multivariate statistical methods—such as principal component analysis, canonical correlation analysis, and factor analysis—have been recently constructed. In contrast to the classical approach, these robust techniques are able to resist the effect of outliers. However, there does not yet exist a graphical tool to identify in a comprehensive way the data points that do not obey the model assumptions. Our goal is to construct such graphics based on empirical influence functions. These graphics not only detect the influential points but also classify the observations according to their robust distances. In this way the observations are divided into four different classes which are regular points, nonoutlying influential points, influential outliers, and noninfluential outliers. We thus gain additional insight in the data by detecting different types of deviating observations. Some real data examples will be given to show how these plots can be used in practice.     

Robust goodness-of-fit tests for AR(p) models based onL 1-norm fitting

A robustified residual autocorrelation is defined based onL ₁-regression. Under very general conditions, the asymptotic distribution of the robust residual autocorrelation is obtained. A robustified portmanteau statistic is then constructed which can be used in checking the goodness-of-fit of AR(p) models when usingL ₁-norm fitting. Empirical results show thatL ₁-norm estimators and the proposed portmanteau statistic are robust against outliers, error distributions, and accuracy for a given finite sample.

Selected topics in robust convex optimization

Robust Optimization is a rapidly developing methodology for handling optimization problems affected by non-stochastic “uncertain-but- bounded” data perturbations. In this paper, we overview several selected topics in this popular area, specifically, (1) recent extensions of the basic concept of robust counterpart of an optimization problem with uncertain data, (2) tractability of robust counterparts, (3) links between RO and traditional chance constrained settings of problems with stochastic data, and (4) a novel generic application of the RO methodology in Robust Linear Control.      

A review of robust clustering methods

Deviations from theoretical assumptions together with the presence of certain amount of outlying observations are common in many practical statistical applications. This is also the case when applying Cluster Analysis methods, where those troubles could lead to unsatisfactory clustering results. Robust Clustering methods are aimed at avoiding these unsatisfactory results. Moreover, there exist certain connections between robust procedures and Cluster Analysis that make Robust Clustering an appealing unifying framework. A review of different robust clustering approaches in the literature is presented. Special attention is paid to methods based on trimming which try to discard most outlying data when carrying out the clustering process.     

Robust empirical likelihood inference for generalized partial linear models with longitudinal data

In this paper, we propose a robust empirical likelihood (REL) inference for the parametric component in a generalized partial linear model (GPLM) with longitudinal data. We make use of bounded scores and leverage-based weights in the auxiliary random vectors to achieve robustness against outliers in both the response and covariates. Simulation studies demonstrate the good performance of our proposed REL method, which is more accurate and efficient than the robust generalized estimating equation (GEE) method (X. He, W.K. Fung, Z.Y. Zhu, Robust estimation in generalized partial linear models for clustered data, Journal of the American Statistical Association 100 (2005) 1176-1184). The proposed robust method is also illustrated by analyzing a real data set.     

Some closed form robust moment‐based estimators for the MEM(1,1)

In this paper, we extend the closed form moment estimator (ordinary MCFE) for the autoregressive conditional duration model given by Lu et al (2016) and propose some closed form robust moment‐based estimators for the multiplicative error model to deal with the additive and innovational outliers. The robustification of the closed form estimator is done by replacing the sample mean and sample autocorrelation with some robust estimators. These estimators are more robust than the quasi‐maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) often used to estimate this model, and they are easy to implement and do not require the use of any numerical optimization procedure and the choice of initial value. The performance of our proposal in estimating the parameters and forecasting conditional mean μ_t of the MEM(1,1) process is compared with the proposals existing in the literature via Monte Carlo experiments, and the results of these experiments show that our proposal outperforms the ordinary MCFE, QMLE, and least absolute deviation estimator in the presence of outliers in general. Finally, we fit the price durations of IBM stock with the robust closed form estimators and the benchmarks and analyze their performances in estimating model parameters and forecasting the irregularly spaced intraday Value at Risk.
