| Summary: | A cylindrical data set consists of a circular and a linear variables. Few distributions have
been proposed for such data pioneered by Johnson and Wehrly (1978). In this study, we
look at two problems of detecting outliers in cylindrical data. Firstly, we define outlier
in cylindrical data and propose a new test of discordancy to detect outlier in cylindrical
data generated from Johnson-Wehrly distribution. Secondly, we focus on detecting outliers
in Johnson-Wehrly circular-linear regression model. In both cases, the outlier detection
procedures are developed using the k-nearest neighbor distance. The cut-off points
are obtained and the performance of the new statistic is examined via simulation. A
practical example is presented using the wind data set from the Malaysian Meteorological
Department. The findings of the study should lead to better inferences, model fitting and
forecasting of cylindrical data sets. |
