Statistics

the search for subregions of an input space where a target variable is unusually high or low.

In statistics bump hunting is the search for subregions of an input space where a target variable is unusually high or low (bumps in the response surface), as formalised in Friedman and Fisher's patient rule induction method. The same idea names the search for a localised excess, a resonance peak, over a smooth background in experimental-physics spectra. The referent is a mode-seeking search in data, sharing only the word with airline bumping or a lock bump.[1]

Unit
A subregion of the input space where the response is unusually extreme
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Characterised by the located box's support and the target mean inside versus outside it
