Abstract

In this paper, we propose a nearest neighbor based outlier detection algorithm, NDoT. We introduce a parameter termed as Nearest Neighbor Factor (NNF) to measure the degree of outlierness of a point with respect to its neighborhood. Unlike the previous outlier detection methods NDoT works by a voting mechanism. Voting mechanism binarizes the decision compared to the top-N style of algorithms. We evaluate our method experimentally and compare results of NDoT with a classical outlier detection method LOF and a recently proposed method LDOF. Experimental results demonstrate that N DoT outperforms LDOF and is comparable with LOF.
