            Abstract : 
The detection of relatively large spikes in data can be easily handled using common outlier detection techniques, but that of the smaller ones becomes a non-trivial task because of their inconspicuous nature. One has to utilize various signal enhancement, processing, and thresholding techniques in order achieve a 100% detection accuracy and a low false alarm rate. Seven different spike detection techniques are studied and compared here. Experimental results are presented in details
