Outlier App: An Interactive Visualization of Outlier Algorithms

I was recently trying various outlier detection algorithms. For me, the best way to understand an algorithm is to tinker with it. I built a shiny app that allows you to play around with various outlier algorithms and wanted to share it with everyone.

The shiny app is available on my site, but even better, the code is on github for you to run locally or improve! Let me give you a quick tour of the app in this post. If you prefer, I have also posted a video that provides background on the app. Another tutorial how to build a interactive web apps with shiny is published at DataScience+.
