The "double negation" is baffling me. Is it hard or not to find them?

Betreff: st: RE: AW: questions about panel data analysis and outliers.

True, although it's not hard to find outliers on a bivariate
distribution which aren't outliers on either marginal. 

Other answers include 

1. Omit the putative outlier and see how much difference it makes.

2. Decide you should be using a transformation or non-identity link
function.

" My second question is: how can I estimate correlation without
outliers?"

You can qualify on the candidate variables not being outliers based on
their
univariate distribution, if that is what you mean:


*************
sysuse auto, clear
qui su mpg,d
gen byte within=inrange(mpg, r(p5), r(p95))
qui su weight,d
gen byte within2=inrange(weight, r(p5), r(p95))
corr mpg weight if within & within2
corr mpg weight

I have a panel data (T=3 and N=45) and  I want to perform a robust
regression, so I would like to know if it is ok if I cope with this
just as a simple  cross sectional  analysis (because the number of my
time serie is so thin).
what do you think about that?
My second question is: how can I estimate correlation without outliers?
