mahalanobis_method

Description

Detect outliers using the Mahalanobis Distance method

Usage

mahalanobis_method(inputData, alpha, tutorialMode)

Arguments

inputData

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.

alpha

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

tutorialMode

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)

Value

None, does not return any value

Examples

inputData = t(matrix(c(3,2,3.5,12,4.7,4.1,5.2,
4.9,7.1,6.1,6.2,5.2,14,5.3),2,7,dimnames=list(c("r","d"))));
inputData = data.frame(inputData);
mahalanobis_method(inputData, 0.7, FALSE); #Can be set to TRUE
