%0 Journal Article %T Classification Based Outlier Detection Techniques %A Dr. Shuchita Upadhyaya %A Karanjit Singh %J International Journal of Computer Trends and Technology %D 2012 %I Seventh Sense Research Group %X Outlier detection is an important research areaforming part of many application domains. Specific application domains call for specific detection techniques, while the more generic ones can be applied in a large number of scenarios with good results. This survey tries to provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the research on Classification Based Outlier Detection listing out various techniques as applicable to our area of research. We have focused on the underlying approach adopted by each technique. We have identified key assumptions, which are used by the techniques to differentiate between normal and Outlier behavior. When applying a given technique to a particular domain, these assumptions can be used as guidelines to assess the effectiveness of the technique in that domain. We provide a basic outlier detection technique, and then show how the different existing techniques in that category are variants of this basic technique. This template provides an easier and succinct understanding of the Classification based techniques. Further we identify the advantages and disadvantages of various classification based techniques. We also provide a discussion on the computational complexity of the techniques since it is an important issue in our application domain. We hope that this survey will provide a better understanding of the different directions in which research has been done on this topic, and how techniques developed in thisarea can be applied in other domains for which they were not intended to begin with. %K Outliers %K Classification %K Outlier Detection %K Classification based Outlier Detection %K One-Class %K Multi-Class %K Algorithms %K Data Mining. %U http://www.ijcttjournal.org/volume-3/issue-2/IJCTT-V3I2P118.pdf
