A method to simulate multivariate outliers with known mahalanobis distances for normal and non-normal data

Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analyses have repeatedly demonstrated the impact of outliers on statistical analysis. Most simulation studies generate outliers using one of two general approaches: by multiplying an arbitrary point by a constant or through a finite mixture. The latter can be...
