In this paper the task of identifying outliers in exponential samples is treated conceptionally in the sense of Davies and Gather (1989, 1993) by means of a so called outlier region. In case of an exponential distribution, an empirical approximation of such a region also called an outlier...

The term "outlier" is probably one of the vaguest and most imprecise ones in statistical science. There is no formal definition of an outlier, which all statisticians agree upon. However, for a univariate normal null-model Davies and Gather ([12] [13]) have introduced the concept of a-outliers...

Methods of dimension reduction are very helpful and almost a necessity if we want to analyze high-dimensional time series since otherwise modelling affords many parameters because of interactions at various time-lags. We use a dynamic version of Sliced Inverse Regression (SIR; Li (1991)), which...

We investigate the possibility of exploiting partial correlation graphs for identifying interpretable latent variables underlying a multivariate time series. It is shown how the collapsibility and separation properties of partial correlation graphs can be used to understand the relation between...
