Onlier

Butte ( onlier )

Such outcrops of younger rock, entirely surrounded by older beds, are called outliers or onliers.

Although influential cases thus have extreme values on one or more of the variables, they can be onliers rather than outliers.

Regression analysts, insofar as they focus on a simple onlier/outlier distinction (where onlier refers to a low-residual case and outlier to a high-residual case), will tend to miss such causal complexity.

This finds its expression in the growth of the proportion of onliers in Party membership; from 32 per cent in 1956, it increased to 37.8 per cent at the end of 1965.

And, on the side of labor and skills, these countries are still onliers, with low educational attainment, short job tenure, high regulation, and high informality.
