CASE

The company case will consist of an outlier detection challenge. Within an enormous dataset, it is up to the participants to identify outliers and/or erroneous lines within the data, with the support of relevant software. This challenge requires the use of data visualization, data manipulation and outlier detection, such that a cleansed dataset can be used as a basis for future model development. As a clean dataset is the basis for a well estimated model, this challenge is very relevant in the current econometrical field.
