Abstract

Outlier detection is a data analysis method and has been used to detect and remove anomalous observations from data. In this paper, we firstly introduced some current mainstream outlier detection methodologies, i.e. statistical-based, distance-based, and density-based. Especially, we analyzed distance-based approachandreviewed several kinds of peculiarity factors in detail. Then, we introduced sampled peculiarity factor (SPF) and a SPF-based outlier detection algorithm in order to explore a lower-computational complexity approach to compute peculiarity factor for real world needs in our future work.
