Functional data are occurring more and more often in practice, and various statistical techniques have been developed to analyze them. In this paper we consider multivariate functional data, where for each curve and each time point a p-dimensional vector of measurements is observed. For functional data the study of outlier detection has started only recently, and was mostly limited to univariat...

This work presents an adaptive outlier detection technique for data streams, called Automatic Outlier Detection for Data Streams (A-ODDS), which identifies outliers with respect to all the received data points (global context) as well as temporally close data points (local context) where local context are selected based on time and change of data distribution.

Background: Outlier detection is an important factor in data mining since it is used in various real time applications. Outlier is an extreme points that are not related to any of the class. Dealing with dimensions is the great challenge, due to “curse of dimensionality”, for effective outlier detection. In a high dimensional data space, it is difficult to detect most related points and most un...

An outlier is an observation (or measurement) that is different with respect to the other values contained in a given dataset. Outliers can be due to several causes. The measurement can be incorrectly observed, recorded or entered into the process computer, the observed datum can come from a different population with respect to the normal situation and thus is correctly measured but represents ...

We have proposed replicator neural networks (RNNs) for outlier detection [8]. Here we compare RNN for outlier detection with three other methods using both publicly available statistical datasets (generally small) and data mining datasets (generally much larger and generally real data). The smaller datasets provide insights into the relative strengths and weaknesses of RNNs. The larger datasets...

Outliers are the points which are different from or inconsistent with the rest of the data. They can be novel, new, abnormal, unusual or noisy information. Outliers are sometimes more interesting than the majority of the data. The main challenges of outlier detection with the increasing complexity, size and variety of datasets, are how to catch similar outliers as a group, and how to evaluate t...

Outlier Detection is a critical and cardinal research task due its array of applications in variety of domains ranging from data mining, clustering, statistical analysis, fraud detection, network intrusion detection and diagnosis of diseases etc. Over the last few decades, distance-based outlier detection algorithms have gained significant reputation as a viable alternative to the more traditio...

Outlier detection is of considerable interest in fields such as physical sciences, medical diagnosis, surveillance detection, fraud detection and network anomaly detection. The data mining and network management research communities are interested in improving existing score-based network traffic anomaly detection techniques because of ample scopes to increase performance. In this paper, we pre...

The recent developments by considering a rather unexpected application of the theory of Independent component analysis (ICA) found in outlier detection , data clustering and multivariate data visualization etc . Accurate identification of outliers plays an important role in statistical analysis. If classical statistical models are blindly applied to data containing outliers, the results can be ...
