Functions in scikit that detect outliers automatically?

Question

I know a way to visualize outliers is to make a box plot, but wanted to know if scikit had any quick ways to detect outliers for each variable?

Answer 1

The scikit-learn implementations of Isolation Forest and Local Outlier Factor should help you out here. Details on both at this link:
