Abstract
This study focuses on comparing the performance of the Robust
Circular Distance (RCDU*) (simplified version) and A
statistics in detecting a single outlier in the Wrapped Normal (WN)
samples. Firstly, this study proposes a simplified version of RCDU statistic.
Then, the paper generates the cut-off points for both statistics taken from WN
samples via a simulation study. This study also evaluates the performance of
both statistics using the proportion of a correct outlier detection. As a
result, for a small sample size, the performance of RCDU* and A statistics do
not have a huge difference. However, for a large sample size of n=250, A
statistic performs slightly better than RCDU* statistic. As an illustration of
a practical example, both statistics successfully detected one outlier present
in the wind direction data at Kota Bharu station.
Keywords: Circular data; discordancy tests; outliers;

Abstrak
Kajian ini memfokuskan kepada perbandingan prestasi Jarak Berkeliling Teguh (RCDU*) (versi ringkas) dan statistik A dalam mengesan satu data terpencil dalam sampel Normal Balutan (WN). Pertama, kajian ini mencadangkan versi ringkas statistik RCDU. Kemudian, kertas itu menjana titik potong untuk kedua-dua statistik yang diambil daripada sampel WN melalui kajian simulasi. Kajian ini juga menilai prestasi kedua-dua statistik menggunakan perkadaran pengesanan data terpencil yang betul. Akibatnya, untuk saiz sampel yang kecil, prestasi RCDU* dan statistik A tidak mempunyai perbezaan yang besar. Walau bagaimanapun, untuk saiz sampel yang besar n=250, statistik A menunjukkan prestasi yang lebih baik sedikit daripada statistik RCDU*. Sebagai ilustrasi contoh praktikal, kedua-dua statistik berjaya mengesan satu data terpencil hadir dalam data arah angin di stesen Kota Bharu.
Kata kunci: Data pekeliling; data terpencil; taburan normal balutan; ujian percanggahan
