Support Vector Clustering for Outlier Detection

Abstract

In this paper a novel Support vector clustering(SVC) method for outlier detection is proposed. Outlier detection algorithms have application in several tasks such as data mining, data preprocessing, data filter-cleaner, time series analysis and so on. Traditionally outlier detection methods are mostly based on modeling data based on its statistical properties and these approaches are only preferred when large scale set is available. To solve this problem, in this paper we focus on establishing the context of support vector clustering approach for outlier detection. Compared to traditional outlier detection methods , the performance of the SVC is not sensitive to the selection of needed parameters. The experiment results proved the efficiency of our method.
