Outlier detection algorithms for least squares time series regression
Bent Nielsen – Professor at Department of Economics at University of Oxford

We review recent asymptotic results on some robust methods for time series regression. The methods classify observations as outliers or not. From the asymptotic results we establish a new asymptotic theory for the gauge of these methods, which is the expected frequency of falsely detected outliers. The asymptotic theory involves Poisson exceedence theory.
