An adjusted boxplot for skewed distributions (2008, unknown): “As shown in Brys, Hubert and Struyf [1] this robust measure of skewness has a bounded influence function and a breakdown value of 25%.”
Anomaly detection by robust statistics (2017, methodology): “The skewness-adjusted boxplot 10 corrects for this by using a robust measure of skewness 11 in determining the fence.”
An empirical power comparison of univariate goodness-of-fit tests for normality (2010, background): “This set of distributions was specifically considered in order to identify which normality tests are less sensitive to extreme observations that may be present in an underlying normal data sample.”
Convergence in per capita CO2 emissions: a robust distributional approach (2011, unknown): “Brys et al. (2006) show that their asymmetry measure, called medcouple, as well as the peakedness estimator proposed by Schmid and Trede (2003) performs well and tolerate up to 25% and 12.”
A Review and Comparison of Methods for Detecting Outliers in Univariate Data Sets (2006, background): “Several properties of the MC including other types of robust skewness are presented well in Brys et al. (2003, 2004).”
A robustification of independent component analysis (2005, background): “where MC is the medcouple [ 13 ], a robust measure of skewness.”
