Abstract

Outliers are among the most important data behaviors in time series data and have exceptional importance in biomedical data analyses. They may either represent an unwanted problematic aspect or a core data behavior. Detecting and correcting the problematic samples in data may improve further analyses such as model performance and diagnostic accuracy. On the other hand, locating the outlying samples in the main data behavior may help with pattern recognition in the data. Therefore, the outlier detection step in the preliminary analysis holds a critical key to the rest of the analyses. This chapter investigates the three types of outliers found in the biomedical data by providing examples from the electrocardiography data modality.
