The present method allows to detect outlying observations in data which may be described by a deterministic function plus a stochastic component. This type of functional relationship often occurs in experimental data, in toxicological research, for instance. The Hampel identifier, an outlier...

With income distributions it is common to encounter the problem of missing data. When a parametric model is fitted to the data, the problem can be overcome by specifying the marginal distribution of the observed data. With classical methods of estimation such as the maximum likelihood (ML) an...
