Statistical distributions are essential tools to model the characteristics of datasets, such as right or left skewness, bi-modality or multi-modality observed in different applied sciences, such as engineering, medicine, and finance. The well-known distributions like normal, Weibull, gamma and Lindley are extensively used because of their simple forms and identifiability properties. In the last decade, researchers have focused on the more complex and flexible distributions, referred to as Generalized or simply G families of probability distributions, to increase the modelling capability of these distributions by adding one or more shape parameters.

The main aim of this edited book is to present new contributions by researchers in the field of G families of probability distributions. The book will help researchers to:

The book is a collection of different aspects of outliers and related topics written by experts. Topics covered include definition of outliers, their sources, consequences, identification, computational and robustness issues, handling of outliers in diversified areas of statistics such as univariate and multivariate data, linear and generalized linear models, time series, linear functional and structural models, circular data, spatial data, big data, high dimensional data, multi-view data. The book emphasizes the importance of outliers, and will appeal to workers in Data Mining; which is one of the fastest-growing business applications of statistics. The book makes outlier detection methods widely usable by practitioners. Examples are drawn from various fields.
