implements OutlierAlgorithm

Outlier Detection based on the distance of an object to its k nearest neighbor. This implementation differs from the original pseudocode: the k nearest neighbors do not exclude the point that is currently evaluated. I.e. for k=1 the resulting score is the distance to the 1-nearest neighbor that is not the query point and therefore should match k=2 in the exact pseudocode - a value of k=1 in the original code does not make sense, as the 1NN distance will be 0 for every point in the database. If you for any reason want to use the original algorithm, subtract 1 from the k parameter. Reference:
