+## Description
+
+An outlier is one or multiple observations that deviates quantitatively from the majority of the data set and may be the subject of further investigation.
+Stochastic Outlier Selection (SOS) developed by Jeroen Janssens[[1]](#janssens) is an unsupervised outlier-selection algorithm that takes as input a set of 
+vectors. The algorithm applies affinity-based outlier selection and outputs for each data point an outlier probability. 
+Intuitively, a data point is considered to be an outlier when the other data points have insufficient affinity with it.
+
+Outlier detection has its application in a number of field, for example, log analysis, fraud detection, noise removal, novelty detection, quality control,
+ sensor monitoring, etc. If a sensor turns faulty, it is likely that it will output values that deviate markedly from the majority.
+ 
+For more information, please consult the [PhD Thesis of Jeroens Janssens](https://github.com/jeroenjanssens/phd-thesis) on 
+Outlier Selection and One-Class Classification which introduces the algorithm.                                                                        
+
+## Parameters
+
+The stochastic outlier selection algorithm implementation can be controlled by the following parameters:
+
+   <table class="table table-bordered">
+    <thead>
+      <tr>
+        <th class="text-left" style="width: 20%">Parameters</th>

+    <tbody>
+      <tr>
+        <td><strong>Perplexity</strong></td>
+        <td>
+          <p>
+            Perplexity can be interpreted as the k in k-nearest neighbor algorithms. The difference with SOS being a neighbor
+            is not a binary property, but a probabilistic one, and therefore it a real number. Must be between 1 and n-1, 
+            where n is the number of points. A good starting point can be obtained by using the square root of the number of observations.
