Abstract

One of the main problems in large datasets is outlier detection, the outliers are detected using Z-score, box plot method, statistical measures and asymmetric Winsorized mean. This paper has a novel method for detecting the outlier values by combining the asymmetric Winsorized mean with the famous spectral analysis function which is wavelet transform (WT). As a result, after comparing the new technique with the previous mentioned methods using financial data from Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), we have found the wavelet transform asymmetric Winsorized mean (WTAWM) is the best method in outlier detections.
