Comparing MLB Batting Outliers with Machine Learning
- Using batting stats from 2023 MLB season to compare outlier detection methods
- Overview of 4 outlier detection algorithms Elliptic Envelope, Local Outlier Factor, One-Class SVM, Isolation Forest
- Dataset preparation using pybaseball to get hitting data
- Apply algorithms and inspect decision boundaries
- Results analysis shows algorithms mostly agree but have some differences in outlier scores and ease of use
