Abstract

Outlier Detection is a key technique to discover abnormal patterns from mass data. Pivot based metric space outlier detection algorithm is designed to improve the cutoff value of outlier degree faster and terminate the detection program earlier, for saving detection time. However, due to the lack of efficient pivot selection method, the performance of existing related algorithms is not as good as it might have been. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cutoff distance based density peak pivot selection algorithm (ADP) to get a suitable pivot quickly. Moreover, we also develop an improved outlier detection algorithm based on ADP algorithm (ADPOD). Experimental results indicate that ADPOD can effectively overcome the existing relate algorithm, and achieves a 2.67 speed up over it on average and, in certain cases, up to 8.06. The distance calculation times are reduced by 53.39% on average and up to 94.84%, as well as acceptable indexing time and the universality of metric space.
