How to use Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection and Conditional Monitoring - KDnuggets

Before doing any data analysis, the need to find out any outliers in a dataset arises. These outliers are known as anomalies. This article explains the goals of anomaly detection and outlines the approaches used to solve specific use cases for anomaly detection and condition monitoring. The main goal of Anomaly Detection analysis is to identify the observations that do not adhere to general patterns considered as normal behavior. For instance, Figure 1 shows anomalies in the classification and regression problems.
