In the outlier's scenario, a cancer gene is differently expressed in only a fraction of tumors.
It can be used in relatively small cohorts and has high power in that scenario to detect outlier samples if there is a high effect size and relatively little sample-sample variability.
Under such a scenario, the meaning of outlier loci becomes unclear, as selected loci would comprise a large proportion of the empirical distribution.
By any measure, this scenario would be a total outlier, yet the last two investors would presumably see no return over a period of several years.
A quick visual inspection of the data reveals that in either case, but especially the 5-20 scenario, Boston's performance would be quite an outlier.
To some researchers who've studied sexual harassment, though, the Fox News scenario doesn't look like that much of an outlier.
In that scenario, Pramenko notes, you don't want to be an outlier, not unless you can justify it by proving that you had better results for your patients.
However, in reality, there are two important scenarios in which this assumption is violated, but in such a way that the outlier removal mechanisms of the proposed method are ineffective.
Moreover, the outlier detection is performed in a smart object with limited processing and storage capabilities (unlike cloud environments) within a mobile scenario in which there is no guarantee that all data will always be available.
It shall be noted that this is a scenario, which is not to be expected for in vivo imaging, since it is highly unlikely to find an outlier in the epidermal thickness.
