  1. Bold values indicate the top performer of each column.
  2. Averaged AUC in the context of high heterogeneity and elevate multiplier in synthetic data. KNN methods achieve the best performance, with KNN 5, \(\sqrt{N}\) yielding Mean AUC \(=0.803\) and Median AUC = 0.801, and kNN log(N),P closely following. Euclidean Spoutlier, i.e., Spoutlier-l, OTS euclidean and mOTS euc, Cook’s distance methods, i.e., Cook’s max and Cook’s med, and LOO-ISN are also strong performer, all with Median AUC \(\ge 0.77\). Cosine OTSs methods are not suited for the task and barely better than a random guess.
