Outliers cleaning wrapper

Outliers cleaning wrapper

clean_outliers(dataset, method, ...)

Arguments

dataset	we want to clean outliers of
method	selected method to clean outliers. Possibilities are: "univariate" detects outliers column by column (an outlier will be an abnormal value inside a column) and fills them with mean or median of the corresponding column "multivariate" detects outliers using a multicolumn approach, so that an outlier will be a whole observation (row). And deletes those observations
...	further arguments for the method

Value

The treated dataset (either with outliers replaced or erased)

Examples

library("smartdata")

super_iris <- clean_outliers(iris, method = "multivariate", type = "adj")

# Use mean as method to substitute outliers

# Use median as method to substitute outliers

# Use chi-sq instead of z p-values

                             prob = 0.9, fill = "median")
# Use interquartilic range instead (lim argument is mandatory when using it)
