This anomalous dataset has a different distribution from the training data and the rest of the testing data. Plotting our data, we see that some outlier points look indistinguishable from normal points (step 5). This guarantees that our classifier will have a significant percentage of misclassifications, due to the nature of the data, and we must keep this in mind when evaluating its ...
