Ask HN: Where to study or learn about outlier treatment in data science?
I work as a consultant to several types of industries and fields, because of that I'd like to know how to treat outliers in a given case.
I don't want to delve deep or do a PhD on the subject, I just want to learn the tools and know when and how to use them.
I want to answer questions like:
- How do I know that I can just remove outliers?
- Given a particular case, can I use median instead of average/mean?
- When should I transform outliers using log (or other technique)?
- etc.
PS: I use Python.
