    public class OutlierDetector
    extends AbstractTransformer
    Applies the outlier detector and either outputs the updated data container or a flow container with the data and the detection results.

    Input/output:
    - accepts:
       adams.data.container.DataContainer
    - generates:
       adams.data.container.DataContainer


    -logging-level <OFF|SEVERE|WARNING|INFO|CONFIG|FINE|FINER|FINEST> (property: loggingLevel)
        The logging level for outputting errors and debugging output.
        default: WARNING
     
    -name <java.lang.String> (property: name)
        The name of the actor.
        default: OutlierDetector
     
    -annotation <adams.core.base.BaseAnnotation> (property: annotations)
        The annotations to attach to this actor.
        default:
     
    -skip <boolean> (property: skip)
        If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded
        as it is.
        default: false
     
    -stop-flow-on-error <boolean> (property: stopFlowOnError)
        If set to true, the flow execution at this level gets stopped in case this
        actor encounters an error; the error gets propagated; useful for critical
        actors.
        default: false
     
    -silent <boolean> (property: silent)
        If enabled, then no errors are output in the console; Note: the enclosing
        actor handler must have this enabled as well.
        default: false
     
    -detector <adams.data.outlier.AbstractOutlierDetector> (property: detector)
        The outlier detector to use for analyzing the data.
        default: adams.data.outlier.PassThrough
     
    -only-warning <boolean> (property: onlyWarning)
        If enabled, the detections get added merely as warnings instead of as errors.
        default: false
     
    -output-container <boolean> (property: outputContainer)
        If enabled, a flow container is output instead of just adding the detections
        to the data container.
        default: false
