It is shown that the best method is to add a…

Outliers, level shifts, and variance changes in time series

Ruey S. Tsay · 1 Jan 1988

Abstract Outliers, level shifts, and variance changes are commonplace in applied time series analysis. However, their existence is often ignored and their impact is overlooked, for the lack of simple and useful methods to detect and handle those extraordinary events.
