Identify Unusual Cases

The Anomaly Detection procedure searches for unusual cases based on deviations from the norms of their cluster groups. The procedure is designed to quickly detect unusual cases for data-auditing purposes in the exploratory data analysis step, prior to any inferential data analysis. This algorithm is designed for generic anomaly detection; that is, the definition of an anomalous case is not specific to any particular application, such as detection of unusual payment patterns in the healthcare industry or detection of money laundering in the finance industry, in which the definition of an anomaly can be well-defined.
