Geometric approach to the estimation of scatter
Bodík, Juraj ; Nagy, Stanislav (advisor) ; Antoch, Jaromír (referee)
In this thesis we describe improved methods of estimating mean and scatter from multivariate data. As we know, the sample mean and the sample variance matrix are non-robust estimators, which means that even a small amount of measurement errors can seriously affect the resulting estimate. We can deal with that problem using MCD estimator (minimum covariance determinant), that finds a sample variance matrix only from a selection of data, specifically those with the smallest determinant of this matrix. This estimator can be also very helpful in outlier detection, which is used in many applications. Moreover, we will introduce the MVE estimator (minimum volume ellipsoid). We will discuss some of the properties and compare these two estimators.
Robust regression - outlier detection
Hradilová, Lenka ; Blatná, Dagmar (advisor) ; Černý, Jindřich (referee)
This master thesis is focused on methods of outlier detection. The aim of this work is to assess the suitability of using robust methods on real data of EKO-KOM, a.s. The first part of the thesis provides an overview and a theoretical treatise on classic and robust methods of outlier detection. These methods are subsequently applied to the obtained data file of EKO-KOM, a.s. in the practical part of the thesis. At the conclusion of the thesis, there are recommendations about suitability of methods, which are based on comparison of classical and robust methods.
