Bayesian Network Anomaly Detection
- Bayesian networks model the probabilistic relationships between variables. Anomalies can be detected by identifying instances where observed data significantly deviates from the expected probabilities.
- The bnlearn package is commonly used for Bayesian network modeling.
R
# Load the package install.packages ( "bnlearn" ) library (bnlearn) # Generate some example data set.seed (123) data <- data.frame ( A = rnorm (100), B = rnorm (100), C = rnorm (100) ) # Define the structure of the Bayesian network # For example, A and B are parents of C network_structure <- model2network ( "[A][B][C|A:B]" ) # Build a Bayesian network bn_model <- bn.fit (network_structure, data) print (bn_model) |

Anomaly Detection Using R
Anomaly detection is a critical aspect of data analysis, allowing us to identify unusual patterns, outliers, or abnormalities within datasets. It plays a pivotal role across various domains such as finance, cybersecurity, healthcare, and more.
