Local Outlier Factor Algorithm

Machine Learning Algorithm

In anomaly detection, the local outlier factor, or LOF, is an algorithm proposed by Markus Breunig, Hans-Peter Kriegel, Raymond Ng and Jorg Sander in 2000 for finding anomalous data points by measuring the local deviation of a given point relative to its neighbors. It shares concepts such as core distance and reachability distance, used for local density estimation, with the DBSCAN and OPTICS clustering algorithms.
