I am cleaning a dataset using the z-score with a threshold >3. Below is the code that I am using. As you can, I first calculate the mean and std. After the code goes in a loop and checks for every value the z-score and if it is greater than 3 and, if yes, the value is treated as an

Remove outlier using quantile python
I need to remove outlier for a regression dataset. Lets say the dataset is consist in the following way With closer inspection, the column humidity has three outliers which are 50.0,18.0,0.01 but for windspeed column the outliers are 20 and 0.05 and both columns outliers are not in the same row. In this case …
Fixing points as non-outliers during outlier detection in Python
I found this Scikit Learn page explaining how to use different algorithms to detect outliers: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/outlier_detection.html Is it possible to set a group of instances as non-outliers so that the algorithms understand that those specific points should not be detected as outlier…
Problem with plotting peaks using find_peaks from SciPy to detect drastic up/down turns or global outliers
Let’s say I have following dataframe contains value over time or date: I inspired from this answer to detect peaks and valleys via below code: This is the output: The problems: I can’t figure out how I can configure find_peaks() documentation to reach meaningful/drastic peaks & valley with res…
Is it necessary to discard outliers before applying LSTM on time series
I am trying to detect anomalies on a time series that controls battery voltage output. I find that my original dataset has some outliers. In this case do I need to remove those points using InterQuartile Range (IQR) or Zscore? of course before using the LSTM keras model Answer Removing or not removing outlier…
Isolation Forest vs Robust Random Cut Forest in outlier detection
I am examining different methods in outlier detection. I came across sklearn’s implementation of Isolation Forest and Amazon sagemaker’s implementation of RRCF (Robust Random Cut Forest). Both are ensemble methods based on decision trees, aiming to isolate every single point. The more isolation st…
