A New Outlier Detection Algorithm Based on Fast Density Peak Clustering Outlier Factor.

Outlier detection is an important field in data mining, which can be used in fraud detection, fault detection, and other fields. This article focuses on the problem where the density peak clustering algorithm needs a manual parameter setting and time complexity is high; the first is to use the k nearest neighbors clustering algorithm to replace the density peak of the density estimate, which adopts the KD-Tree index data structure calculation of data objects k close neighbors. Then it adopts the method of the product of density and distance automatic selection of clustering centers. In addition, the central relative distance and fast density peak clustering outliers were defined to characterize the degree of outliers of data objects. Then, based on fast density peak clustering outliers, an outlier detection algorithm was devised. Experiments on artificial and real data sets are performed to validate the algorithm, and the validity and time efficiency of the proposed algorithm are validated when compared to several conventional and innovative algorithms.
