BACKGROUND Brain computer interfaces (BCI) is one of the most popular branches in biomedical engineering. It aims at constructing a communication between the disabled persons and the auxiliary equipments in order to improve the patients' life. In motor imagery (MI) based BCI, one of the popular feature extraction strategies is Common Spatial Patterns (CSP). In practical BCI situation, scalp EEG...

An outlier is an observation that deviates markedly from the majority of the data. To know which observation has greater influence on parameter estimate, detection of outlier is very important. There are several methods for detection of outliers available in the literature. A good number of test-statistics for detecting outliers have been developed. In contrast to detection, outliers are also t...

Understanding adaptive genetic variation and its relation to environmental factors are important for understanding how plants adapt to climate change and for managing genetic resources. Genome scans for the loci exhibiting either notably high or low levels of population differentiation (outlier loci) provide one means of identifying genomic regions possibly associated with convergent or diverge...

Marine benthic organisms inhabit a heterogeneous environment in which connectivity between populations occurs mainly through dispersive larval stages, while local selective pressures acting on early life history stages lead to non-random mortality, shaping adaptive genetic structure. In order to test the influence of local adaptation and neutral processes in a marine benthic species with low di...

Is particularly useful for high dimensional data where outliers cannot be found.High dimensional data in Euclidean space pose special challenges to data. In about just the last few years, the task of unsupervised outlier detection has found.Outlier detection is an outstanding data mining task referred to open pdf with mac word class="text" href="https://tokiqivy.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/opel...

Efficient outlier detection in a large-sized big data environment incurs much of complexity in processing the information and to handle it in a proficient way. For segregating outliers from those normal data items, many of the prevailing methodologies experiences complexity in accordance with the features involved in every single attribute. On recognizing appropriate features associated the cha...

Dynamic graphs are a powerful way to model an evolving set of objects and their ongoing interactions. A broad spectrum of systems, such as information, communication, and social, are naturally represented by dynamic graphs. Outlier (or anomaly) detection in dynamic graphs can provide unique insights into the relationships of objects and identify novel or emerging relationships. To date, outlier...

Outlier detection research is currently focusing on the development of new methods and on improving the computation time for these methods. Evaluation however is rather heuristic, often considering just precision in the top k results or using the area under the ROC curve. These evaluation procedures do not allow for assessment of similarity between methods. Judging the similarity of or correlat...

In order to solve the defect in the spatial outlier mining algorithm that the spatial objects may be affected by their surrounding abnormal neighbors, a Based K-Nearest Neighbor (BKNN) algorithm was proposed based on the working principle of KNN Graph, which could effectively identify the spatial outliers by using cutting edge strategies. The core idea of BKNN is to calculate the dissimilarity ...

The Kalman filter is widely used in many different fields. Many practical applications and theoretical results show that the Kalman filter is very sensitive to outliers in a measurement process. In this paper some reasons why the Kalman Filter is sensitive to outliers are analyzed and a series of outlier-tolerant algorithms are designed to be used as substitutes of the Kalman Filter. These outl...
