LOF
- Former user (Deleted)
Synopsis
A filter that applies the LOF (Local Outlier Factor) algorithm to compute an "outlier" score for each instance in the data. Can use multiple cores/cpus to speed up the LOF computation for large datasets. Nearest neighbor search methods and distance functions are pluggable.
Available via the package management system for Weka >= 3.7.2 (localOutlierFactor)
