A Survey On Outlier Detection Technique In Streaming Data Using Data Clustering Approach

Data mining is a highly researched area in the today’s world as data is crucial part of many application, due to which many researchers express their interest in this domain. As there arises a need to process large dataset which imposes different challenges for researchers. To have a data which is free from a noisy attributes , known as a filtered data , is of much important to gain accuracy in a result sets. For that , finding and eliminate the noisy objects has gained a much more importance. An object that does not follow the footprints of usual data object is called outliers. Outlier detection process is used in numerous applications like fraud detection, intrusion detection system, tracking environmental activities, healthcare diagnosis. Numbers of approaches are used in the process of detection of outlier. Most approaches focuses to use Cluster-based and Distance based approach (i.e. using KMeans algorithm and Euclidian distance) for outlier detection in data sets which help them to create a group of similar elements or cluster of data points. Clustering techniques are highly useful for grouping similar data items from data sets and after that by applying distance based calculations, detection of outlier is done, so they are called cluster-based outlier detection. KMeans and Euclidian distance are the most common and popular algorithm for clustering and outlier detection process due to its simplicity and efficiency. Different application areas of outlier detection are discussed in this paper.
