- I was wondering if any of the readers know of material regarding
- the actual (as opposed to hypothetical) impact of outliers on
- estimation of correlations. There is one article by Orr et al
- in Personnel Psychology 1991 vol 44 no 3 which reports that various
- outlier deletion methods had only a small impact on average rho
- estimation and various effects on the variance of the estimates.
- Do you know of any other recent emprical treatment of the question?
