Approach based on wavelet analysis for detecting and amending anomalies in dataset

Abstract

It is difficult to detect the anomalies whose matching relationship among some data attributes is very different from others’ in a dataset. Aiming at this problem, an approach based on wavelet analysis for detecting and amending anomalous samples was proposed. Taking full advantage of wavelet analysis’ properties of multi-resolution and local analysis, this approach is able to detect and amend anomalous samples effectively. To realize the rapid numeric computation of wavelet translation for a discrete sequence, a modified algorithm based on Newton-Cores formula was also proposed. The experimental result shows that the approach is feasible with good result and good practicality.
