Description
The
vslSSEditOutliersDetection
 routine uses the parameters passed to replace
  • the pointers to the number of method parameters and to the array of the method parameters of size
    nparams
  • the pointer to the array that holds the calculated weights of the observations
If you pass a value of
NULL
 for a specific input parameter, the value of that parameter in the task descriptor is unchanged.
Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
 provides the BACON algorithm ([Billor00]) for the detection of multivariate outliers. Pack the parameters of the BACON algorithm into the
params
 array and pass them into the editor. Table
"Structure of the Array of BACON Parameters"
 describes the
params
 structure.

Algorithm Parameter
Description
0
Method to start the algorithm
The parameter takes one of the following possible values:
VSL_SS_METHOD_BACON_MEDIAN_INIT
, if the algorithm is started using the median estimate. This is the default value of the parameter.
VSL_SS_METHOD_BACON_MAHALANOBIS_INIT
, if the algorithm is started using the Mahalanobis distances.
1
α
One-tailed probability that defines the
(1 -
α
) quantile of
χ
2
 distribution with
p
 degrees of freedom. The recommended value is
α
/
n
, where
n
 is the number of observations. By default, the value is 0.05.
2
δ
Stopping criterion; the algorithm is terminated if the size of the basic subset is changed less than
δ
. By default, the value is 0.005.
Output of the algorithm is the vector of weights,
BaconWeights
, such that
BaconWeights
(
i
) = 0 if
i
-th observation is detected as an outlier. Otherwise
BaconWeights
(
i
) =
w
(
i
), where
w
 is the vector of input weights. If you do not provide the vector of input weights,
BaconWeights
(
i
) is set to 1 if the
i
-th observation is not detected as an outlier.
