The Mean-shift Outlier Model under Skew Normal Distribution

Asymmetric models have been extensively studied in recent years, in situations where the normality assumption is not satisfied due to lack of symmetry of the data. Techniques for assessing the quality of fit and diagnostic analysis are important for model validation. This paper presents a study of the mean-shift method for detecting outliers in asymmetric normal regression models. Analytical solutions for the estimators of the parameters are obtained using the algorithm. Simulation studies and application to real data are presented, showing the efficiency of the method in detecting outliers.
