Mean-shift outliers model in skew scale-mixtures of normal distributions

Asymmetric models have been discussed quite extensively in recent years, in situations where the normality assumption is suspected due to lack of symmetry in 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 the detection of outliers in regression models under skew scale-mixtures of normal distributions. Analytical solutions …
