hbk: Hawkins, Bradu, Kass's Artificial Data

Description

Artificial Data Set generated by Hawkins, Bradu, and Kass (1984). The data set consists of 75 observations in four dimensions (one response and three explanatory variables). It provides a good example of the masking effect. The first 14 observations are outliers, created in two groups: 1--10 and 11--14. Only observations 12, 13 and 14 appear as outliers when using classical methods, but can be easily unmasked using robust distances computed by, e.g., MCD - covMcd().

Usage

data(hbk, package="robustbase")

Arguments

Format

Examples

Run this code
data(hbk)
plot(hbk)
summary(lm.hbk <- lm(Y ~ ., data = hbk))

hbk.x <- data.matrix(hbk[, 1:3])
(cHBK <- covMcd(hbk.x))
