Talk 1: Outlier Detection in Business
Abstract
------------
Outlier detection is the process of identifying observations that deviate from the usual assumptions or from the pattern suggested by the majority of the data. These observations are termed as outliers. We will present the steps followed in order to detect abnormal trends in stores across an FMCG chain. We will also introduce the techniques used to detect outliers through visual examples of code.
