Hi

I think It may be worthwhile submitting your model and data to PDB-REDO to see 
if (inter alia) you have applied any unconscious bias to your building that has 
resulted in these outliers, or over- or under-interpreted the data. It’s quick 
and easy to submit and requires remarkably little effort on your part - another 
tool to your collection.
