`outliers` function documentation #389

Open samrkuhn opened 7 months ago

samrkuhn commented 7 months ago

Hi, I'm dealing with a time series with an extreme outlier, and I've found the function outliers, that I imagine uses the IQR to determine if the observation is considered an outlier. However, there's no documentation about how to use it. Is this currently being developed?

The outliers() functionality is mostly a stub at the moment, not many (any?) models support it yet, and so it is also not very well documented. You are correct that something like the IQR can be used, specifically we will default to using 1-step fitted values from the model.
