We present a novel resolution-based outlier notion and a nonparametric outlier-mining algorithm, which can efficiently identify top listed outliers from a wide variety of datasets. The algorithm generates reasonable outlier results by taking both local and global features of a dataset into consideration. Experiments are conducted using both synthetic datasets and a real life construction equipment dataset from a large building contractor. Comparison with the current outlier mining algorithms indicates that the proposed algorithm is more effective. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
