Does anomaly mean rare?
The noun anomaly comes from the Greek word anomolia, meaning uneven” or “irregular. When something is unusual compared to similar things around it, it’s the anomaly. If you are an Olympian who comes from a family of bookish types who all find it strenuous to walk the dog, you are an anomaly. The English meaning of ‘Anomaly’ is something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected (विषमता). Example: Weather experts could not explain the anomaly of the tropical storms. Hence the correct spelling is ‘Anomaly’.Anomalies are instances or collections of data that occur very rarely in the data set and whose features differ significantly from most of the data. An outlier is an observation (or subset of observations) which appears to be inconsistent with the remainder of that set of data.There are three main types of anomalies: point anomalies, contextual anomalies, and collective anomalies. Point anomalies, also known as outliers, are individual data points that deviate significantly from the rest of the dataset, often signaling errors or rare events.
