/**
* <p>This operator is a DB outlier detection algorithm which calculates
* the DB(p,D)-outliers for an ExampleSet passed to the operator.
* DB(p,D)-outliers are Distance based outliers according to Knorr and Ng.
* A DB(p,D)-outlier is an object to which at least a proportion of p of all
* objects are farer away than distance D. It implements a global homogenous
* outlier search.</p>
*
* <p>Currently, the operator supports cosine, sine or squared distances in addition
* to the usual euclidian distance which can be specified by the corresponding parameter.
* The operator takes two other real-valued parameters p and D. Depending on these
* parameters, search objects will be created from the examples in the ExampleSet
* passed to the operator. These search objects will be added to a search space which
* will perform the outlier search according to the DB(p,D) scheme.</p>
*
* <p>The Outlier status (boolean in its nature) is written to a new special attribute
* "Outlier" and is passed on with the example set.</p>
