Outlier Detection & Handling
Identify and manage statistical outliers.
When to Use
Key Features
scripts/main.py.Dependencies
See ## Prerequisites above for related details.
Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.numpy: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.scipy: unspecified. Declared in requirements.txt.Example Usage
cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Data Analytics/outlier-detection-handler"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help
Example run plan:
1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/main.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.
Implementation Details
See ## Workflow above for related details.
scripts/main.py.Quick Check
Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
Audit-Ready Commands
Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help
Workflow
1. Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work. 2. Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions. 3. Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available. 4. Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items. 5. If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion.
Use Cases
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| data | str | Yes | - | Path to dataset file (CSV/Excel) |
| method | str | No | "3-sigma" | Detection method: "3-sigma", "IQR", or "Grubbs" |
| action | str | No | "flag" | Handling action: "flag", "remove", or "winsorize" |
Returns
Example
Input: Biomarker measurements from 200 patients Output: 5 outliers identified (2.5%), recommended action: investigate then winsorizeRisk Assessment
| Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level | |----------------|------------|-------| | Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium | | Network Access | No external API calls | Low | | File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium | | Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low | | Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low |

Evaluation Criteria
Success Metrics
Test Cases
1. Basic Functionality: Standard input β Expected output 2. Edge Case: Invalid input β Graceful error handling 3. Performance: Large dataset β Acceptable processing timeLifecycle Status
Output Requirements
Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant:
Error Handling
scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.Input Validation
This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of outlier-detection-handler and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.
Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:
> outlier-detection-handler only handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.
Response Template
Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:
1. Objective 2. Inputs Received 3. Assumptions 4. Workflow 5. Deliverable 6. Risks and Limits 7. Next Checks
If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
