routlier:: Using routlier_dt_sd() we can find the Outliers in a data set and have them highlighted with a green background to make them easier to find. Here we have an interactive DT::table that gets returned. This allows us to filter and sort out data much more easily.

routlier_dt_sd(data = detroit,sd = 1)

## You have  66  outliers in your dataset

routlier:: Using routlier_rh_sd() we can find the Outliers in a data set and have them highlighted with a green background to make them easier to find.

routlier_rh_sd(data = detroit,sd = 1)

## You have  66  outliers in your dataset

routlier:: Using routlier_formattable() we can find the Outliers in a data set and have the Outliers highlighted in red and the non-outlier values highlighted in green.

routlier_formattable(data = detroit,sd = 2)

## You have  4  outliers in your dataset

routlier:: Using routlier_mad() we can find the Outliers in a data set and have the Outliers highlighted in red and the non-outlier values highlighted in green.

Homicide in Detroit: The role of Firearms.

This is the data set called DETROIT' in the book 'Subset selection in regression' by Alan J. Miller published in the Chapman & Hall series of monographs on Statistics & Applied Probability, no. 40. The data are unusual in that a subset of three predictors can be found which gives a very much better fit to the data than the subsets found from the Efroymson stepwise algorithm, or from forward selection or backward elimination. The original data were given in appendix A ofRegression analysis and its application: A data-oriented approach’ by Gunst & Mason, Statistics textbooks and monographs no. 24, Marcel Dekker. It has caused problems because some copies of the Gunst & Mason book do not contain all of the data, and because Miller does not say which variables he used as predictors and which is the dependent variable. (HOM was the dependent variable, and the predictors were FTP … WE)

A data frame with 13 rows and 14 variables:

• Detroit Dataset:
• FTP: Full-time police per 100,000 population
• UEMP: UEMP - % unemployed in the population
• MAN: MAN - number of manufacturing workers in thousands
• LIC: LIC - Number of handgun licences per 100,000 population
• GR: GR - Number of handgun registrations per 100,000 population
• CLEAR: CLEAR - % homicides cleared by arrests
• WM: WM - Number of white males in the population
• NMAN: NMAN - Number of non-manufacturing workers in thousands
• GOV: GOV - Number of government workers in thousands
• HE: HE - Average hourly earnings
• WE: WE - Average weekly earnings:
• HOM: HOM - Number of homicides per 100,000 of population
• ACC: ACC - Death rate in accidents per 100,000 population
• ASR: ASR - Number of assaults per 100,000 population

Student Performance Dataset:

• Student Performance Data Set

This data approach student achievement in secondary education of two Portuguese schools. The data attributes include student grades, demographic, social and school related features) and it was collected by using school reports and questionnaires. Two datasets are provided regarding the performance in two distinct subjects: Mathematics (mat) and Portuguese language (por). In [Cortez and Silva, 2008], the two datasets were modeled under binary/five-level classification and regression tasks. Important note: the target attribute G3 has a strong correlation with attributes G2 and G1. This occurs because G3 is the final year grade (issued at the 3rd period), while G1 and G2 correspond to the 1st and 2nd period grades. It is more difficult to predict G3 without G2 and G1, but such prediction is much more useful (see paper source for more details)
