Title
Robust PCA for skewed data and its outlier map
Author
Abstract
The outlier sensitivity of classical principal component analysis (PCA) has spurred the development of robust techniques. Existing robust PCA methods like ROBPCA work best if the non-outlying data have an approximately symmetric distribution. When the original variables are skewed, too many points tend to be flagged as outlying. A robust PCA method is developed which is also suitable for skewed data. To flag the outliers a new outlier map is defined. Its performance is illustrated on real data from economics, engineering, and finance, and confirmed by a simulation study.
