An Efficient Density-Based Local Outlier Detection Approach for Scattered Data by Shubin Su, Limin Xiao, Li Ruan, Fei Gu, Shupan Li, Zhaokai Wang, Rongbin Xu

“…The RCMLQ greatly reduces the amount of data that needs to be quantified for local outlier factor and the LDC is more sensitive to the degree of anomaly of the scattered datasets, and so the E2DLOS improves the existing local outlier detection approaches in time efficiency and detection accuracy. Experiments show that the LDC can better reflect the true abnormal situations of the data for the scattered datasets. …”
