#' Global-Local Outlier Score from Hierarchies
#'
#' Calculate the Global-Local Outlier Score from Hierarchies (GLOSH) score for
#' each data point using a kd-tree to speed up kNN search.
#'
#' GLOSH compares the density of a point to densities of any points associated
#' within current and child clusters (if any). Points that have a substantially
#' lower density than the density mode (cluster) they most associate with are
#' considered outliers. GLOSH is computed from a hierarchy a clusters.
#'
#' Specifically, consider a point \emph{x} and a density or distance threshold
#' \emph{lambda}. GLOSH is calculated by taking 1 minus the ratio of how long
#' any of the child clusters of the cluster \emph{x} belongs to "survives"
#' changes in \emph{lambda} to the highest \emph{lambda} threshold of x, above
#' which x becomes a noise point.
#'
#' Scores close to 1 indicate outliers. For more details on the motivation for
#' this calculation, see Campello et al (2015).

#' set containing GLOSH values for all data points.
