Local outlier detection reconsidered: a generalized view on locality with applications to spatial, video, and network outlier detection [4] discusses the general pattern in various local outlier detection methods (including, e.g., LOF, a simplified version of LOF and LoOP) and abstracts from this into a general framework. This framework is then ...
PyOD is an open-source Python library developed specifically for anomaly detection. [56] scikit-learn is an open-source Python library that contains some algorithms for unsupervised anomaly detection. Wolfram Mathematica provides functionality for unsupervised anomaly detection across multiple data types [57]
It works on Linux, Windows, macOS, and is available in Python, [8] R, [9] and models built using CatBoost can be used for predictions in C++, Java, [10] C#, Rust, Core ML, ONNX, and PMML. The source code is licensed under Apache License and available on GitHub. [6] InfoWorld magazine awarded the library "The best machine learning tools" in 2017.
A simple example is fitting a line in two dimensions to a set of observations. Assuming that this set contains both inliers, i.e., points which approximately can be fitted to a line, and outliers, points which cannot be fitted to this line, a simple least squares method for line fitting will generally produce a line with a bad fit to the data including inliers and outliers.
The simplest methods of estimating parameters in a regression model that are less sensitive to outliers than the least squares estimates, is to use least absolute deviations. Even then, gross outliers can still have a considerable impact on the model, motivating research into even more robust approaches.
Winsorizing or winsorization is the transformation of statistics by limiting extreme values in the statistical data to reduce the effect of possibly spurious outliers. It is named after the engineer-turned-biostatistician Charles P. Winsor (1895–1951). The effect is the same as clipping in signal processing.
It is a density-based clustering non-parametric algorithm: given a set of points in some space, it groups together points that are closely packed (points with many nearby neighbors), and marks as outliers points that lie alone in low-density regions (those whose nearest neighbors are too far away). DBSCAN is one of the most commonly used and ...
A training data set is a data set of examples used during the learning process and is used to fit the parameters (e.g., weights) of, for example, a classifier. [9] [10]For classification tasks, a supervised learning algorithm looks at the training data set to determine, or learn, the optimal combinations of variables that will generate a good predictive model.
