Overview

Python Outlier Detection (PyOD)

Deployment & Documentation & Stats & License

PyOD is a comprehensive and scalable Python toolkit for detecting outlying objects in multivariate data. This exciting yet challenging field is commonly referred as Outlier Detection or Anomaly Detection.

PyOD includes more than 30 detection algorithms, from classical LOF (SIGMOD 2000) to the latest COPOD (ICDM 2020) and SUOD (MLSys 2021). Since 2017, PyOD has been successfully used in numerous academic researches and commercial products [35] [36]. It is also well acknowledged by the machine learning community with various dedicated posts/tutorials, including Analytics Vidhya, KDnuggets, Towards Data Science, Computer Vision News, and awesome-machine-learning.

PyOD is featured for:

Unified APIs, detailed documentation, and interactive examples across various algorithms.
Advanced models, including classical ones from scikit-learn, latest deep learning methods, and emerging algorithms like COPOD.
Optimized performance with JIT and parallelization when possible, using numba and joblib.
Fast training & prediction with SUOD [36].
Compatible with both Python 2 & 3.

Outlier Detection with 5 Lines of Code:

# train the COPOD detector
from pyod.models.copod import COPOD
clf = COPOD()
clf.fit(X_train)

# get outlier scores
y_train_scores = clf.decision_scores_  # raw outlier scores on the train data
y_test_scores = clf.decision_function(X_test)  # predict raw outlier scores on test

Installation

It is recommended to use pip or conda for installation. Please make sure the latest version is installed, as PyOD is updated frequently:

pip install pyod            # normal install
pip install --upgrade pyod  # or update if needed

conda install -c conda-forge pyod

Alternatively, you could clone and run setup.py file:

git clone https://github.com/yzhao062/pyod.git
cd pyod
pip install .

Required Dependencies:

Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
combo>=0.0.8
joblib
numpy>=1.13
numba>=0.35
scipy>=0.19.1
scikit_learn>=0.20.0
statsmodels

Optional Dependencies (see details below):

combo (optional, required for models/combination.py and FeatureBagging)
keras (optional, required for AutoEncoder, and other deep learning models)
matplotlib (optional, required for running examples)
pandas (optional, required for running benchmark)
suod (optional, required for running SUOD model)
tensorflow (optional, required for AutoEncoder, and other deep learning models)
xgboost (optional, required for XGBOD)

Warning 1: PyOD has multiple neural network based models, e.g., AutoEncoders, which are implemented in both PyTorch and Tensorflow. However, PyOD does NOT install DL libraries for you. This reduces the risk of interfering with your local copies. If you want to use neural-net based models, please make sure Keras and a backend library, e.g., TensorFlow, are installed. Instructions are provided: neural-net FAQ. Similarly, models depending on xgboost, e.g., XGBOD, would NOT enforce xgboost installation by default.

Warning 2: PyOD contains multiple models that also exist in scikit-learn. However, these two libraries' API is not exactly the same--it is recommended to use only one of them for consistency but not mix the results. Refer Differences between scikit-learn and PyOD for more information.

API Cheatsheet & Reference

Full API Reference: (https://pyod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyod.html). API cheatsheet for all detectors:

fit(X): Fit detector.
decision_function(X): Predict raw anomaly score of X using the fitted detector.
predict(X): Predict if a particular sample is an outlier or not using the fitted detector.
predict_proba(X): Predict the probability of a sample being outlier using the fitted detector.
predict_confidence(X): Predict the model's sample-wise confidence (available in predict and predict_proba) [26].

Key Attributes of a fitted model:

decision_scores_: The outlier scores of the training data. The higher, the more abnormal. Outliers tend to have higher scores.
labels_: The binary labels of the training data. 0 stands for inliers and 1 for outliers/anomalies.

Fast training and prediction: it is possible to train and predict with a large number of detection models in PyOD by leveraging SUOD framework [36]. See SUOD Paper and repository.

Model Save & Load

PyOD takes a similar approach of sklearn regarding model persistence. See model persistence for clarification.

In short, we recommend to use joblib or pickle for saving and loading PyOD models. See "examples/save_load_model_example.py" for an example. In short, it is simple as below:

from joblib import dump, load

# save the model
dump(clf, 'clf.joblib')
# load the model
clf = load('clf.joblib')

It is known that there are challenges in saving neural network models. Check #328 and #88 for temporary workaround.

Fast Train with SUOD

Fast training and prediction: it is possible to train and predict with a large number of detection models in PyOD by leveraging SUOD framework [36]. See SUOD Paper and SUOD example.

from pyod.models.suod import SUOD

# initialized a group of outlier detectors for acceleration
detector_list = [LOF(n_neighbors=15), LOF(n_neighbors=20),
                 LOF(n_neighbors=25), LOF(n_neighbors=35),
                 COPOD(), IForest(n_estimators=100),
                 IForest(n_estimators=200)]

# decide the number of parallel process, and the combination method
# then clf can be used as any outlier detection model
clf = SUOD(base_estimators=detector_list, n_jobs=2, combination='average',
           verbose=False)

Algorithm Benchmark

The comparison among of implemented models is made available below (Figure, compare_all_models.py, Interactive Jupyter Notebooks). For Jupyter Notebooks, please navigate to "/notebooks/Compare All Models.ipynb".

A benchmark is supplied for select algorithms to provide an overview of the implemented models. In total, 17 benchmark datasets are used for comparison, which can be downloaded at ODDS.

For each dataset, it is first split into 60% for training and 40% for testing. All experiments are repeated 10 times independently with random splits. The mean of 10 trials is regarded as the final result. Three evaluation metrics are provided:

The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve
Precision @ rank n (P@N)
Execution time

Check the latest benchmark. You could replicate this process by running benchmark.py.

Quick Start for Outlier Detection

PyOD has been well acknowledged by the machine learning community with a few featured posts and tutorials.

Analytics Vidhya: An Awesome Tutorial to Learn Outlier Detection in Python using PyOD Library

KDnuggets: Intuitive Visualization of Outlier Detection Methods, An Overview of Outlier Detection Methods from PyOD

Towards Data Science: Anomaly Detection for Dummies

Computer Vision News (March 2019): Python Open Source Toolbox for Outlier Detection

"examples/knn_example.py" demonstrates the basic API of using kNN detector. It is noted that the API across all other algorithms are consistent/similar.

More detailed instructions for running examples can be found in examples directory.

Initialize a kNN detector, fit the model, and make the prediction.

from pyod.models.knn import KNN   # kNN detector

# train kNN detector
clf_name = 'KNN'
clf = KNN()
clf.fit(X_train)

# get the prediction label and outlier scores of the training data
y_train_pred = clf.labels_  # binary labels (0: inliers, 1: outliers)
y_train_scores = clf.decision_scores_  # raw outlier scores

# get the prediction on the test data
y_test_pred = clf.predict(X_test)  # outlier labels (0 or 1)
y_test_scores = clf.decision_function(X_test)  # outlier scores

# it is possible to get the prediction confidence as well
y_test_pred, y_test_pred_confidence = clf.predict(X_test, return_confidence=True)  # outlier labels (0 or 1) and confidence in the range of [0,1]

Evaluate the prediction by ROC and Precision @ Rank n (p@n).

from pyod.utils.data import evaluate_print

# evaluate and print the results
print("\nOn Training Data:")
evaluate_print(clf_name, y_train, y_train_scores)
print("\nOn Test Data:")
evaluate_print(clf_name, y_test, y_test_scores)

See a sample output & visualization.

On Training Data:
KNN ROC:1.0, precision @ rank n:1.0

On Test Data:
KNN ROC:0.9989, precision @ rank n:0.9

Hi,

When I use the Mahalanobis metric for KNN I always get the error "Must provide either V or VI for Mahalanobis distance" even when I provide V with metric_params. The same request works with sklearn.neighbors.


from pyod.models.knn import KNN  
from pyod.utils.data import generate_data
from sklearn.neighbors import NearestNeighbors
import numpy as np

contamination = 0.1  
n_train = 200  
n_test = 100 

X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test = generate_data(n_train=n_train, n_test=n_test, contamination=contamination)

#Doesn't work (Must provide either V or VI for Mahalanobis distance)
clf = KNN(algorithm='brute', metric='mahalanobis', metric_params={'V': np.cov(X_train)})
clf.fit(X_train)

#Works
nn = NearestNeighbors(algorithm='brute', metric='mahalanobis', metric_params={'V': np.cov(X_train)})
nn.fit(X_train)

COF and SOD huge bugs?

Hi all. Something is happening that I cannot understand, I'm doing hyperparameter tuning to all proximity based algorithms with RandomSearchCV form sklearn and only COF and SOD have problems. What is happening is the following: the constructor parameters are all None even though I'm passing values to it. I tried to change the code of SOD and hardcoded the values of the constructor and I'm still getting NoneType. Please help.

COPOD Explainability on unseen data

COPOD explain_outlier() function works only for a given data point within the dataset. Is there any approach for explainability on unseen data( data on which model has not been trained) ?

outlier score highly correlated to over distance to points of origin

I calculated the distance of each data points to origins at 0, by use 'np.linalg.norm(x)', while x is just one multi-variate sample, then normalize all these values to 0-1, I called this 'global_score'. When I compare the global score to scores from different methods, it turns out it's highly correlated (0.99) with PCA, autoencoder, CBLOF, KNN. So it seems all these methods are just calculating the overall distance of the samples, instead of anomalies from multiple clusters. I was very troubled by this fact and hope you can confirm whether this is true and if it is, what's the reason for this.

Thanks

Results from LODA are not reproducible

The function uses numpy.random.randn to sample the random cuts but it does not accept a random_state parameter like most of the other non-deterministic algorithms.

Train/Test split or not?

Hi, I have a conceptual question wether I should split my dataset in train/test or not. Given the fact that my dataset has no labels, does it make any sense to split in the first place? I mean, I could simply do something like clf.fit(data) and then get the resulting labels as clf.labels_ and since I train in an unsupervised manner the classifier should not overfit in any way, right?

Implementing ECDF Estimator and deleting Statsmodels dependency
Hey everyone,

as stated in #466 and in #453, one can speed up the empirical cumulative density function in comparison to the Statsmodels ECDF functionality.

This also makes the dependency on statsmodels obsolete and this pull request deletes the dependency.

In this pull request the following things are done:

Implementing an standalone ecdf estimator in pyod/utils/stat_models.py

Writing a test that compares own implementation to statsmodels implementation on several random matrices (so in the requirements_ci.txt statsmodels is still a requirement)

Deleting and replacing the functionality in ECOD and COPOD (the only places this dependency has been used

The implementation is now faster (by 30-60%), as we will only use the ecdf for the data we estimate it from. Please get back to me if a further explanation of why exactly is necessary. I will gladly elaborate more.

Since not anyone might want to fully submerge in the topic, I kept the statsmodels dependency in the test and compare this implementation to the statsmodels function on several random matrices. One could see that as prove that it works.

Thanks in advance! :-)

Statsmodels package is only used for one function

Hey,

as mentioned in #453 there is a possibility of reimplementing the ECDF estimator from statsmodels in a small function that also runs faster (50-60%) as we are doing the estimation in place and do not use it further.

As you can see from this search, the statsmodels package is only ever used for its ecdf estimator.

Once the tests are through, I will open a pull request for the updated version which does not require statsmodels any more.

Thanks in advance Lucas

Initializing train weights from a saved model and continuing training

I've trained a multi-class AutoEncoder model using pyod library and saved it as a pickle file. I would like to use the weights from this single, multi-class model, to initialize training of single class AutoEncoder models. How can the training weights be saved, reloaded and how can the training be resumed through PyOD?

Is 4D (2D) geospatial data anomaly detection supported?

I just discovered this package and I was wondering whether is possible to perform anomaly detection of geospatial data, for example data coming from a network of weather stations which all measure air temperature.

In the past we used either a simple statistical model, that checks if a certain station measured value falls in the IQR of the neighbouring stations, or a supervised model (using SVM) trained with values from neighbouring stations and models. I was wondering if it would be possible to apply one of the model of pyod on this kind of data to identify outliers.

The data can be thought as 4D since we have variable[id_station, time, latitude, longitude], but in practice we always apply the model in 2D as we compare the value of a station to its neighbours. Still, it would be good to have a generalized model that can consider all dimensions at the same time.

Thanks for any info :)
