Outlier Detection Toolbox
=========================
This is a single-file distribution (for ease of preview) of a production-grade
outlier/anomaly detection toolbox intended to be split into a small package:
outlier_detection/
├── __init__.py
├── utils.py
├── statistical.py
├── distance_density.py
├── model_based.py
├── deep_learning.py
├── ensemble.py
├── visualization.py
└── cli.py
--- NOTE ---
This code block contains *all* modules concatenated (with file headers) so you
can preview and copy each file out into separate .py files. When you save them
as separate files the package will work as expected.
Design goals (what you asked for):
- Detailed, well-documented functions (purpose, math, applicability, edge-cases)
- Robust handling of NaNs, constant columns, categorical data
- Functions return structured metadata + masks + scores so you can inspect
- Utilities for ensemble combining methods and producing a readable report
- Optional deep learning methods (AutoEncoder/VAE) with clear dependency
instructions and graceful error messages if libraries are missing.
Dependencies (recommended):
pip install numpy pandas scipy scikit-learn matplotlib joblib tensorflow>=2.0
If you prefer PyTorch for deep models you can adapt deep_learning.py accordingly.

-----
- This trains on the entire provided X. For actual anomaly detection, it's

pass only normal subset for training.

文章描述了一位开发者在使用pandas的get_dummies函数进行OneHot编码时遇到的问题，具体表现为KeyError。首先，他们尝试对多个列进行编码，然后遇到了错误。接着，尝试只对单个列进行编码时，错误仍然存在。最后，通过逐个列处理并拼接数据集的方式解决了问题，尽管不清楚为什么会出错，但问题得到了解决。
