Bagged OutlierTrees is an explainable unsupervised outlier detection method based on an ensemble implementation of the existing OutlierTree procedure (Cortes, 2020). This implementation takes advantage of bootstrap aggregating (bagging) to improve robustness by reducing the possible masking effect and subsequent high variance (similarly to Isolation Forest), hence the name “Bagged OutlierTrees”.
To learn more about the base procedure OutlierTree (Cortes, 2020), please refer to <arXiv:2001.00636> (the corresponding GitHub repository can be found here). This repository and its documentation are heavily based on the latter to ensure consistency and ease-of-use between the packages.
You can install the development version of
bagged.outliertrees from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("RafaJPSantos/bagged.outliertrees")This is a basic example which shows you how to find outliers in the hypothyroid dataset:
library(bagged.outliertrees)
### example dataset with interesting outliers
data(hypothyroid)
### fit a Bagged OutlierTrees model
model <- bagged.outliertrees(hypothyroid,
ntrees = 100,
subsampling_rate = 0.75,
z_outlier = 5,
nthreads = 1
)
### use the fitted model to find outliers in the training dataset
outliers <- predict(model,
newdata = hypothyroid,
min_outlier_score = 0.5,
nthreads = 1
)### print the top-5 outliers in human-readable format
print(outliers, outliers_print = 5)
