Anti-Robust and Tonsured Statistics

Statistical Finance 2011-10-24 v1 Risk Management Methodology

Abstract

This describes a statistical technique called "tonsuring" for exploratory data analysis in finance. Instead of rejecting "outlier" data that conflicts with the model, this strips out "inlier" data to get a clearer picture of how the market changes for larger moves.
