We present a semi-automatic method of outlier detection for continuous, multivariate survey data. In large datasets, outliers may be dicult to nd using informal inspection and graph-ical displays, particularly when there are missing values. Our method relies on an explicit probability model for the data. The raw data with outliers is described by a contaminated multivariate normal distribution, and an EM algorithm is applied to obtain robust estimates of the means and covariances. Mahalanobis distances are computed to identify potential out-liers. The procedure is implemented in a software product which detects outliers and suggests edits to remove oending values. We apply the algorithm to body-measurement data fro
