OUTLIERHANDLING Subcommand (ADP command)

The OUTLIERHANDLING subcommand checks fields for outliers and replaces the outlying values with less extreme values or missing values.

INPUT=YES | NO. Check inputs for outliers. By default, inputs are checked.

TARGET=YES | NO. Check target for outliers. By default, the target is checked.

CUTOFF=SD(value) . Cutoff for determining outliers. If a value is more than SD"robust" standard deviations from the mean value for a field, then it is considered an outlier. Specify a positive number. The default is 3 standard deviations.

REPLACEWITH = CUTOFFVALUE | MISSING. Value to replace outliers with. CUTOFFVALUE replaces outliers with the cutoff for determining outliers. MISSING replaces outliers with the system-missing value. These missing values can be further handled by the REPLACEMISSING subcommand. The default is CUTOFFVALUE.
