RLH statistics for data cleaning

Dear Stephane,
Dear David,

I´ve read in some papers about using RLH statistics for cleaning the data and detecting "bad respondents".
Would you recommend using this method for data cleaning and if yes, is there a function within apollo that can be used for that?

Thank you in advance.

Best,
J.

Hi

Apollo returns a list of outliers in the model output. However, I would never suggest just removing them from the data, instead, try to understand why your model cannot accommodate them, and then see if you can improve the model accordingly. Only remove people if there are obvious mistakes or biases
