Educational Outlier Package with Common Outlier Detection Algorithms

Provides implementations of some of the most important outlier detection algorithms. Includes a tutorial mode option that shows a description of each algorithm and provides a step-by-step execution explanation of how it identifies outliers from the given data with the specified input parameters.

OutliersLearn R Package

Overview

OutliersLearn is an R package designed to teach and demonstrate different outlier detection algorithms. The algorithms are programmed to provide informative messages while executing on real data, helping users understand the inner workings of each algorithm.

Installation

Will be available to download/install from CRAN To install from GitHub execute this commands in your R session:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("MissiegoBeats/OutliersLearn")
