Look inside
Sigma Corp, a large conglomerate of energy production companies, has recently implemented anomaly detection algorithms and is generally pleased with their performance. However, analysts report that not all anomalies are being identified and the algorithms are too slow at times. As a lead data scientist at Sigma, it’s up to you to address these concerns. To increase the robustness of the algorithms, you’ll implement and optimize the probability-based Empirical Cumulative distribution-based Outlier Detection (ECOD) method, an alternative to statistical methods. You’ll benchmark the ECOD method in order to compare its performance with the statistical MD and PCA methods Sigma is currently using. When you’re finished, you’ll have firsthand experience implementing the highly efficient ECOD method to detect anomalies in multidimensional data.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
This liveProject is for beginner data scientists who want to learn how to use the ECOD method to implement an optimized, highly efficient anomaly detection algorithm for multidimensional data. To begin these liveProjects you’ll need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Basic Python
- Basic NumPy
- Basic Matplotlib (or Seaborn or Bokeh)
- Basic data science
- Basic testing
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn to implement the highly efficient ECOD method for anomaly detection in multidimensional data.
- Measure of skewness
- Cumulative distribution function
- Optimize the implementation of the ECOD anomaly detection algorithm
- Test your implementation against non-trivial multidimensional synthetic anomalies
features
