In their paper, Davies and Gather (1993) formalized the task of outlier identification, considering also certain performance criteria for outlier identifiers. One of those Criteria, the maximum asymptotic bias, is carried over here to multivariate outlier identifiers. We show how this term...

Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR) is a promising technique for the purpose of dimension reduction. Several properties of this relatively new method have been examined already, but little attention has been paid to robustness aspects. We show that SIR is very sensitive towards outliers in the data....
