Abstract
This paper summarises joint research with Marco Riani on the forward search, a powerful general method for detecting multiple masked outliers and for determining their effect on models fitted to the data. Atkinson and Riani (2000) describe its use in linear and nonlinear regression, response transformation and in generalized linear models. These examples are here extended to include multivariate analysis. Riani and Atkinson (2001) describe an application to multivariate transformations and discriminant analysis.
