Auto-Modeller doesn’t currently detect outliers when building models, it is dependent on a user’s own judgement.

The Gaussian Processes methods do employ a sophisticated process of detecting conflicting values and they will put a higher uncertainty onto this information. So, these methods are more robust when it comes to handling outliers. However, this detection isn’t reported in the Session Details.

For any method, the greater the number of compounds that conflict with the outlier, the less the outlier will influence the model. So, the robustness of the model does depend on the size of the data set and the proportion of outliers. Having a large and reliable set of data isn’t always possible, but this is the reason why we have the independent validation and test sets.

It is also worth noting that the uncertainty you’ve defined in your data isn’t taken into consideration when building a model.
