Sequential outlier identification for Gaussian mixture models using the distribution of Mahalanobis distances. The optimal number of outliers is chosen based on the dissimilarity between the theoretical and observed distributions of the scaled squared sample Mahalanobis distances. Also includes an extension for Gaussian linear cluster-weighted models using the distribution of studentized residuals. Doherty, McNicholas, and White (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.11668.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("outlierMBC", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-outliermbc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-outlierMBC

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
