Abstract

In order to overcome the blindness of the evaluation on contexts in the classical Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA), how weight matrixes influence detection results is analyzed, and two kinds of DCA which can adjust false positives and false negatives are proposed. The first one is the improved voting DCA, the Tendency Factor (TF) is involved in the Dendritic Cell (DC) state transition to assess contexts fairly, and through the fine adjustment of TF false positives and false negatives of detection results are controlled; the other one is the scoring DCA, in the DC state transition phase the evaluation of contexts is ignored, instead, the antigen is directly given a score, then according to the distribution of average scores of antigens the anomaly threshold value can be adjusted to control false positives and false negatives. Experiments show that the two algorithms can both effectively realize results controlled, comparatively the scoring DCA is more intuitive.
