One-class classification of point patterns of extremes
Novelty detection or one-class classification starts from a model describing some type of ‘normal behaviour’ and aims to classify deviations from this model as being either novelties or anomalies. <br/>In this paper the problem of novelty detection for point patterns S = {x1, . . . , xk} ⊂ R...

description | Novelty detection or one-class classification starts from a model describing some type of ‘normal behaviour’ and aims to classify deviations from this model as being either novelties or anomalies. <br/>In this paper the problem of novelty detection for point patterns S = {x1, . . . , xk} ⊂ R d is treated where examples of anomalies are very sparse, or even absent. The latter complicates the tuning of hyperparameters in models commonly used for novelty detection, such as one-class support vector machines and hidden Markov models. <br/>To this end, the use of extreme value statistics is introduced to estimate explicitly a model for the abnormal class by means of extrapolation from a statistical model X for the normal class. We show how multiple types of information obtained from any available extreme instances of S can be combined to reduce the high false-alarm rate that is typically encountered when classes are strongly imbalanced, as often occurs in the one-class setting (whereby ‘abnormal’ data are often scarce). <br/>The approach is illustrated using simulated data and then a real-life application is used as an exemplar, whereby accelerometry data from epileptic seizures are analysed - these are known to be extreme and rare with respect to normal accelerometer data. |
