The EU-SILC contains variables which may contain outliers. The presence of outliers can have an impact on the measures and indicators used by the EU-SILC. In this paper, we used data sets from various countries to analyze the presence of outliers. In addition, we obtain some indicators after removing these outliers, and a comparison between both situations can be observed. Finally, some conclusions are obtained. }, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {10}, year = {2014}, pages = {3276 - 3280}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9999562}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/94}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 94, 2014}, }
