abod: Angle-Based Outlier Factor

Description

Computes angle-based outlier factor for each observation in the dataset

Usage

abod(data, method = "complete", n_sample_size = trunc(nrow(data)/10), k = 15)

Arguments

data
Dataframe in which to compute angle-based outlier factor.
method
Method to perform. 'complete' will use the entire dataset (cubic complexity) to compute abof. 'randomized' will use a random sample of the data of size 'n_sample_size'. 'knn' will compute abof among 'k' nearest neighbours.
n_sample_size
Number of random observations to choose in randomized method.
k
Number of nearest neighbours to choose in knn method.

Value

  • Returns angle-based outlier factor for each observation. A small abof respect the others would indicate presence of an outlier.

Details

Please note that 'knn' has to compute an euclidean distance matrix before computing abof.
