Background High-dimensional biological data presents the opportunity to discover novel forms of biological heterogeneity, such as overexpression or suppression of expression of a particular gene in a subset of a cohort. This novel biological heterogeneity appears in the data as outliers or distinct subgroups. Here, we describe and evaluate three procedures for subgroup and outlier detection analysis (SODA): a leave-one-out (LOO) procedure that is widely used for outlier detection in the bioinformatics literature, the least median squares (LMS) procedure from the statistics literature, and the dip test (DT) from the statistics literature. We also propose and evaluate the max spacing test (MST) as a novel SODA method.
