local_outlier_factor

Syntax

Description

The Local Outlier Factors (LOF) of all the points are computed. And the LOF is an algorithm used for outlier detection, which is proposed by Breunig in [1].

Examples

Input Arguments

points —— An array of vectors of length n, namely n points, specified as an N-D array.


k —— Number of neighbors for k-distance and k-neighbors, specified as a positive integer scalar.

Properties of Arguments

Name of the parametersIs optional?Source, dialog or input port?
pointsNoInput port
