= Local outlier factor
{wiki=Local_outlier_factor}
The Local Outlier Factor (LOF) is an algorithm used for anomaly detection in machine learning. It identifies anomalies or outliers in a dataset by comparing the local density of data points. The key idea behind LOF is that an outlier is a point that has a significantly lower density compared to its neighbors. \#\#\# Key Concepts of LOF: 1. **Local Density**: It measures how densely packed the points are around a given data point.
