About PyOD

PyOD, established in 2017, has become a go-to Python library for detecting anomalous/outlying objects in multivariate data. This exciting yet challenging field is commonly referred as Outlier Detection or Anomaly Detection.

PyOD includes more than 50 detection algorithms, from classical LOF (SIGMOD 2000) to the cutting-edge ECOD and DIF (TKDE 2022 and 2023). Since 2017, PyOD has been successfully used in numerous academic researches and commercial products with more than 17 million downloads. It is also well acknowledged by the machine learning community with various dedicated posts/tutorials, including Analytics Vidhya, KDnuggets, and Towards Data Science.

PyOD is featured for:

• Unified, User-Friendly Interface across various algorithms.
• Wide Range of Models, from classic techniques to the latest deep learning methods.
• High Performance & Efficiency, leveraging numba and joblib for JIT compilation and parallel processing.
• Fast Training & Prediction, achieved through the SUOD framework [48].

Outlier Detection with 5 Lines of Code:

# Example: Training an ECOD detector
from pyod.models.ecod import ECOD
clf = ECOD()
clf.fit(X_train)
y_train_scores = clf.decision_scores_  # Outlier scores for training data
y_test_scores = clf.decision_function(X_test)  # Outlier scores for test data

Selecting the Right Algorithm:. Unsure where to start? Consider these robust and interpretable options:

• ECOD: Example of using ECOD for outlier detection
• Isolation Forest: Example of using Isolation Forest for outlier detection

Alternatively, explore MetaOD for a data-driven approach.

Installation

PyOD is designed for easy installation using either pip or conda. We recommend using the latest version of PyOD due to frequent updates and enhancements:

pip install pyod            # normal install
pip install --upgrade pyod  # or update if needed

conda install -c conda-forge pyod

Alternatively, you could clone and run setup.py file:

git clone https://github.com/yzhao062/pyod.git
cd pyod
pip install .

Required Dependencies:

• Python 3.6 or higher
• joblib
• matplotlib
• numpy>=1.19
• numba>=0.51
• scipy>=1.5.1
• scikit_learn>=0.22.0
• six

Optional Dependencies (see details below):

• combo (optional, required for models/combination.py and FeatureBagging)
• keras/tensorflow (optional, required for AutoEncoder, and other deep learning models)
• suod (optional, required for running SUOD model)
• xgboost (optional, required for XGBOD)
• pythresh (optional, required for thresholding)

Warning: PyOD includes several neural network-based models, such as AutoEncoders, implemented in Tensorflow and PyTorch. These deep learning libraries are not automatically installed by PyOD to avoid conflicts with existing installations. If you plan to use neural-net based models, please ensure these libraries are installed. See the neural-net FAQ for guidance. Additionally, xgboost is not installed by default but is required for models like XGBOD.

API Cheatsheet & Reference

The full API Reference is available at PyOD Documentation. Below is a quick cheatsheet for all detectors:

• fit(X): Fit the detector. The parameter y is ignored in unsupervised methods.
• decision_function(X): Predict raw anomaly scores for X using the fitted detector.
• predict(X): Determine whether a sample is an outlier or not as binary labels using the fitted detector.
• predict_proba(X): Estimate the probability of a sample being an outlier using the fitted detector.
• predict_confidence(X): Assess the model's confidence on a per-sample basis (applicable in predict and predict_proba) [33].

Key Attributes of a fitted model:

• decision_scores_: Outlier scores of the training data. Higher scores typically indicate more abnormal behavior. Outliers usually have higher scores.
• labels_: Binary labels of the training data, where 0 indicates inliers and 1 indicates outliers/anomalies.

ADBench Benchmark and Datasets

We just released a 45-page, the most comprehensive ADBench: Anomaly Detection Benchmark [15]. The fully open-sourced ADBench compares 30 anomaly detection algorithms on 57 benchmark datasets.

The organization of ADBench is provided below:

For a simpler visualization, we make the comparison of selected models via compare_all_models.py.

---

Model Save & Load

PyOD takes a similar approach of sklearn regarding model persistence. See model persistence for clarification.

In short, we recommend to use joblib or pickle for saving and loading PyOD models. See "examples/save_load_model_example.py" for an example. In short, it is simple as below:

from joblib import dump, load

# save the model
dump(clf, 'clf.joblib')
# load the model
clf = load('clf.joblib')

It is known that there are challenges in saving neural network models. Check #328 and #88 for temporary workaround.

---

Fast Train with SUOD

Fast training and prediction: it is possible to train and predict with a large number of detection models in PyOD by leveraging SUOD framework [48]. See SUOD Paper and SUOD example.

from pyod.models.suod import SUOD

# initialized a group of outlier detectors for acceleration
detector_list = [LOF(n_neighbors=15), LOF(n_neighbors=20),
                 LOF(n_neighbors=25), LOF(n_neighbors=35),
                 COPOD(), IForest(n_estimators=100),
                 IForest(n_estimators=200)]

# decide the number of parallel process, and the combination method
# then clf can be used as any outlier detection model
clf = SUOD(base_estimators=detector_list, n_jobs=2, combination='average',
           verbose=False)

---

Thresholding Outlier Scores

A more data based approach can be taken when setting the contamination level. By using a thresholding method, guessing an abritrary value can be replaced with tested techniques for seperating inliers and outliers. Refer to PyThresh for a more in depth look at thresholding.

from pyod.models.knn import KNN
from pyod.models.thresholds import FILTER

# Set the outlier detection and thresholding methods
clf = KNN(contamination=FILTER())

Quick Start for Outlier Detection

PyOD has been well acknowledged by the machine learning community with a few featured posts and tutorials.

Analytics Vidhya: An Awesome Tutorial to Learn Outlier Detection in Python using PyOD Library

KDnuggets: Intuitive Visualization of Outlier Detection Methods, An Overview of Outlier Detection Methods from PyOD

Towards Data Science: Anomaly Detection for Dummies

Computer Vision News (March 2019): Python Open Source Toolbox for Outlier Detection

"examples/knn_example.py" demonstrates the basic API of using kNN detector. It is noted that the API across all other algorithms are consistent/similar.

More detailed instructions for running examples can be found in examples directory.

1. Initialize a kNN detector, fit the model, and make the prediction.

   from pyod.models.knn import KNN   # kNN detector
   
   # train kNN detector
   clf_name = 'KNN'
   clf = KNN()
   clf.fit(X_train)
   
   # get the prediction label and outlier scores of the training data
   y_train_pred = clf.labels_  # binary labels (0: inliers, 1: outliers)
   y_train_scores = clf.decision_scores_  # raw outlier scores
   
   # get the prediction on the test data
   y_test_pred = clf.predict(X_test)  # outlier labels (0 or 1)
   y_test_scores = clf.decision_function(X_test)  # outlier scores
   
   # it is possible to get the prediction confidence as well
   y_test_pred, y_test_pred_confidence = clf.predict(X_test, return_confidence=True)  # outlier labels (0 or 1) and confidence in the range of [0,1]

2. Evaluate the prediction by ROC and Precision @ Rank n (p@n).

   from pyod.utils.data import evaluate_print
   
   # evaluate and print the results
   print("\nOn Training Data:")
   evaluate_print(clf_name, y_train, y_train_scores)
   print("\nOn Test Data:")
   evaluate_print(clf_name, y_test, y_test_scores)

3. See a sample output & visualization.

   On Training Data:
   KNN ROC:1.0, precision @ rank n:1.0
   
   On Test Data:
   KNN ROC:0.9989, precision @ rank n:0.9

   visualize(clf_name, X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test, y_train_pred,
       y_test_pred, show_figure=True, save_figure=False)

Inclusion Criteria

Similarly to scikit-learn, We mainly consider well-established algorithms for inclusion. A rule of thumb is at least two years since publication, 50+ citations, and usefulness.

However, we encourage the author(s) of newly proposed models to share and add your implementation into PyOD for boosting ML accessibility and reproducibility. This exception only applies if you could commit to the maintenance of your model for at least two year period.
