 | `use_SVM_to_remove_outliers` | Train a support vector machine to detect and remove outliers from the training data set, as well as from incoming data points. See details about how it works [here](#removing-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm). <br> **Datatype:** Boolean.
 | `svm_params` | All parameters available in Sklearn's `SGDOneClassSVM()`. See details about some select parameters [here](#removing-outliers-using-a-support-vector-machine-svm). <br> **Datatype:** Dictionary.

+| `outlier_protection_percentage` | If more than `outlier_protection_percentage` fraction of points are removed as outliers, FreqAI will log a warning message and ignore outlier detection while keeping the original dataset intact. <br> **Datatype:** float. Default: `30`
