Abstract:

Data preparation is a compulsory process in any data science project. Many research have shown that it constitutes 80% of the time, effort and resources of a data science project. Depending on the particular project and data type, Data preparation step may required different methods/steps. Detecting and processing outlier data is one of the important preprocessing steps in data preparation , especially for time series data. This paper reviews two methods for detecting outliers for low dimensional data, namely Z - Score and Box - plot charts. We also present results of experiments which applied these methods for temperature data collected from 43 monitoring stations in 3 - hour in Vietnam over the last 6 years from 01/01/2014 to 31/12/2019.
