mahalanobis_method

Detect outliers using the Mahalanobis Distance method

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. References include the works of Azzedine Boukerche,
Lining Zheng, and Omar Alfandi (2020) <doi:10.1145/3381028>, Abir Smiti (2020)

mahalanobis_method function

<dl><dt>inputData</dt>
<dd>Input Data dataset that will be processed (with or not the step by step explanation) to obtain the underlying outliers. It must be a data.frame type.</dd>
<dt>alpha</dt>
<dd>Significance level alpha. This value indicates the proportion that it is expected to be outliers out of the dataset. It has to be in the range from 0 to 1</dd>
<dt>learn</dt>
<dd>if TRUE the tutorial mode is activated (the algorithm will include an explanation detailing the theory behind the outlier detection algorithm and a step by step explanation of how is the data processed to obtain the outliers following the theory mentioned earlier)</dd></dl>
