摘要

The detection of outliers is essential for ensuring the integrity and accuracy of data analysis. This study highlights the importance of measuring the performance of outlier detection methods and tests using robust criteria and performance measures. By applying the criteria of David and Paulson, we evaluate several discordance tests as well as popular outlier detection methods. We introduce five performance measures ( \(P_{1}\) , \(P_{2}\) , \(P_{3}\) , \(P_{4}\) , \(P_{5}\) ) to compare the efficiency of each method. Additionally, our novel contribution includes the use of the measure \(P_{2}\) to specifically evaluate outlier filtering methods. The results of this study provide valuable insights for selecting the most reliable and effective techniques in various analytical contexts, thereby ensuring robust and precise data analysis.
