Understanding the local outlier factor (LOF) algorithm

This article explains the well-known LOF-algorithm. We provide intuition for density-based outlier detection, show the problems inherent to this task and then take a look at how LOF solves these problems.

Motivation

Outlier detection is important for many real world applications - typical examples include fraud detection, network intrusion detection or …
