Working with Outliers and Time Series Shocks

This session intends to relay popular methods used to detect and account for outliers in a dataset, as well as handle time series shocks within a dataset.
All too often, conventional modelling methods are not sufficient at handling data with significant outliers, or sudden changes in a time series trend.
My session will introduce some useful methods for being able to handle such anomalies, such as Huber weighting methods, as well as state-space models. Numerous examples will be illustrated using Python and R.
