Abstract
Outliers, or outlying observations, are values in data, which appear unusual. It is quite essential to analyze various unexpected events or anomalies in economic domain like sudden crash of stock market, mismatch between country’s per capita incomes and overall development, abrupt change in unemployment rate and steep falling of bank interest to find the insights for the benefit of humankind. These situations can arise due to several reasons, out of which pandemic is a major one. The present COVID-19 pandemic also disrupted the global economy largely as various countries faced various types of difficulties. This motivates the present researchers to identify a few such difficult areas in economic domain, arises due to the pandemic situation and identify the countries, which are affected most under each bucket. Two well-known machine-learning techniques DBSCAN (density based clustering approach) and Z-score (statistical technique) are utilized in this analysis. The results can be used as suggestive measures to the administrative bodies, which show the effectiveness of the study.
