what techniques can be used to detect outliers in a dataset?
user
some of the techniques that can be used to detect outliers in a dataset include using the interquartile range, using box-and-whisker plots, and using z-scores. additionally, approaches based on clustering, such as k-means and dbscan, can be used to find outliers by detecting points which are significantly different from the other points in the dataset.
