This package implements an anomaly detection algorithm based on mutual reachability minimum spanning trees: deadwood trims protruding tree segments and marks small debris as outliers; see Gagolewski (2026) <https://deadwood.gagolewski.com/>. More precisely, the use of a mutual reachability distance pulls peripheral points farther away from each other. Tree edges with weights beyond the detected elbow point are removed. All the resulting connected components whose sizes are smaller than a given threshold are deemed anomalous. The Python version of deadwood is available via PyPI'.
