Abstract: This disclosure provides a solution for processing outliers in a time series. In the method, a time series model is obtained based on a first set of observed values. Outliers are identified from the first set of observed values based on the differences between the first set of observed values and a first set of predicted values. The first set of predicted values is obtained from the first set of observed values by using the time series model. A model evaluation measure representing differences between a second set of observed values and a second set of predicted values is calculated. The second set of predicted values is obtained from the second set of observed values by using the time series model. And replacement values for the outliers are determined in response to the model evaluation measure not meeting a predefined criterion.
