Identification of errors or anomalous values, collectively considered outliers, assists in exploring data or through removing outliers improves statistical analysis. In biomechanics, outlier detection methods have explored the ‘shape’ of the entire cycles, although exploring fewer points using a ‘moving-window’ may be advantageous. Hence, the aim was to develop a moving-window method for detecting trials with outliers in intra-participant time-series data. Outliers were detected through two stages for the strides (mean 38 cycles) from treadmill running. Cycles were removed in stage 1 for one-dimensional (spatial) outliers at each time point using the median absolute deviation, and in stage 2 for two-dimensional (spatial–temporal) outliers using a moving window standard deviation. Significance levels of the t-statistic were used for scaling. Fewer cycles were removed with smaller scaling and smaller window size, requiring more stringent scaling at stage 1 (mean 3.5 cycles removed for 0.0001 scaling) than at stage 2 (mean 2.6 cycles removed for 0.01 scaling with a window size of 1). Settings in the supplied Matlab code should be customised to each data set, and outliers assessed to justify whether to retain or remove those cycles. The method is effective in identifying trials with outliers in intra-participant time series data.

These files are supplements to the paper titled 'A Robust Two-step Method for Detection of Outlier Sets'.This paper identifies and addresses the need for a robust method that identifies sets of points that collectively deviate from typical patterns in a dataset, which it calls "outlier sets'', while excluding individual points from detection. This new methodology, Outlier Set Two-step Identification (OSTI) employs a two-step approach to detect and label these outlier sets. First, it uses Gaussian Mixture Models for probabilistic clustering, identifying candidate outlier sets based on cluster weights below a predetermined threshold. Second, OSTI measures the Inter-cluster Mahalanobis distance between each candidate outlier set's centroid and the overall dataset mean. OSTI then tests the null hypothesis that this distance does not significantly differ from its theoretical chi-square distribution, enabling the formal detection of outlier sets. We test OSTI systematically on 8,000 synthetic 2D datasets across various inlier configurations and thousands of possible outlier set characteristics. Results show OSTI robustly and consistently detects outlier sets with an average F1 score of 0.92 and an average purity (the degree to which outlier sets identified correspond to those generated synthetically, i.e., our ground truth) of 98.58%. We also compare OSTI with state-of-the-art outlier detection methods, to illuminate how OSTI fills a gap as a tool for the exclusive detection of outlier sets.

Kriging with interpolation is widely used in various noise-free areas, such as computer experiments. However, owing to its Gaussian assumption, it is susceptible to outliers, which affects statistical inference, and the resulting conclusions could be misleading. Little work has explored outlier detection for kriging. Therefore, we propose a novel kriging method for simultaneous outlier detection and prediction by introducing a normal-gamma prior, which results in an unbounded penalty on the biases to distinguish outliers from normal data points. We develop a simple and efficient method, avoiding the expensive computation of the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, to simultaneously detect outliers and make a prediction. We establish the true identification property for outlier detection and the consistency of the estimated hyperparameters in kriging under the increasing domain framework as if the number and locations of the outliers were known in advance. Under appropriate regularity conditions, we demonstrate information consistency for prediction in the presence of outliers. Numerical studies and real data examples show that the proposed method generally provides robust analyses in the presence of outliers. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

The Multi-Domain Outlier Detection Dataset contains datasets for conducting outlier detection experiments for four different application domains:

1. Astrophysics - detecting anomalous observations in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) catalog (data type: feature vectors)
2. Planetary science - selecting novel geologic targets for follow-up observation onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover (data type: grayscale images)
3. Earth science: detecting anomalous samples in satellite time series corresponding to ground-truth observations of maize crops (data type: time series/feature vectors)
4. Fashion-MNIST/MNIST: benchmark task to detect anomalous MNIST images among Fashion-MNIST images (data type: grayscale images)

Each dataset contains a "fit" dataset (used for fitting or training outlier detection models), a "score" dataset (used for scoring samples used to evaluate model performance, analogous to test set), and a label dataset (indicates whether samples in the score dataset are considered outliers or not in the domain of each dataset).

Identifying and dealing with outliers is an important part of data analysis. A new visualization, the O3 plot, is introduced to aid in the display and understanding of patterns of multivariate outliers. It uses the results of identifying outliers for every possible combination of dataset variables to provide insight into why particular cases are outliers. The O3 plot can be used to compare the results from up to six different outlier identification methods. There is anRpackage OutliersO3 implementing the plot. The article is illustrated with outlier analyses of German demographic and economic data. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

In this work we apply and expand on a recently introduced outlier detection algorithm that is based on an unsupervised random forest. We use the algorithm to calculate a similarity measure for stellar spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). We show that the similarity measure traces non-trivial physical properties and contains information about complex structures in the data. We use it for visualization and clustering of the dataset, and discuss its ability to find groups of highly similar objects, including spectroscopic twins. Using the similarity matrix to search the dataset for objects allows us to find objects that are impossible to find using their best fitting model parameters. This includes extreme objects for which the models fail, and rare objects that are outside the scope of the model. We use the similarity measure to detect outliers in the dataset, and find a number of previously unknown Be-type stars, spectroscopic binaries, carbon rich stars, young stars, and a few that we cannot interpret. Our work further demonstrates the potential for scientific discovery when combining machine learning methods with modern survey data.

The cloud segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as machine learning models, statistical methods, and real-time monitoring. These technologies enable the identification of anomalous behavior in real-time, thereby enhancing network security and data privacy. Anomaly detection algorithms, including unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning networks, are used to identify outliers and intrusions in large datasets. Data security is a major concern, leading to the adoption of data masking, data pseudonymization, data de-identification, and differential privacy.

Data leakage prevention and incident response are critical components of an effective anomaly detection system. False positive and false negative rates are essential metrics to evaluate the performance of these systems. Time series analysis and concept drift are important techniques used in anomaly detection. Data obfuscation, data suppression, and data aggregation are other strategies employed to maintain data privacy. Companies such as Anodot, Cisco Systems Inc, IBM Corp, and SAS Institute Inc offer both cloud-based and on-premises anomaly detection solutions. These soluti

BackgroundMeta-analysis of gene expression microarray datasets presents significant challenges for statistical analysis. We developed and validated a new bioinformatic method for the identification of genes upregulated in subsets of samples of a given tumour type (‘outlier genes’), a hallmark of potential oncogenes. MethodologyA new statistical method (the gene tissue index, GTI) was developed by modifying and adapting algorithms originally developed for statistical problems in economics. We compared the potential of the GTI to detect outlier genes in meta-datasets with four previously defined statistical methods, COPA, the OS statistic, the t-test and ORT, using simulated data. We demonstrated that the GTI performed equally well to existing methods in a single study simulation. Next, we evaluated the performance of the GTI in the analysis of combined Affymetrix gene expression data from several published studies covering 392 normal samples of tissue from the central nervous system, 74 astrocytomas, and 353 glioblastomas. According to the results, the GTI was better able than most of the previous methods to identify known oncogenic outlier genes. In addition, the GTI identified 29 novel outlier genes in glioblastomas, including TYMS and CDKN2A. The over-expression of these genes was validated in vivo by immunohistochemical staining data from clinical glioblastoma samples. Immunohistochemical data were available for 65% (19 of 29) of these genes, and 17 of these 19 genes (90%) showed a typical outlier staining pattern. Furthermore, raltitrexed, a specific inhibitor of TYMS used in the therapy of tumour types other than glioblastoma, also effectively blocked cell proliferation in glioblastoma cell lines, thus highlighting this outlier gene candidate as a potential therapeutic target. Conclusions/SignificanceTaken together, these results support the GTI as a novel approach to identify potential oncogene outliers and drug targets. The algorithm is implemented in an R package (Text S1).

We combined each outlier detection method with each estimation approach such that there were nine different appoaches for robust GFR estimation in new application data.

This contains the code and data necessary to rerun the power analysis used in testing BOREALIS.

Borealis is an R library performing outlier analysis for count-based bisulfite sequencing data. It detects outlier methylated CpG sites from bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq). The core of Borealis is modeling Beta-Binomial distributions. This can be useful for rare disease diagnoses.
