Abstract: Detecting outliers in a large set of data objects is a major data mining task aiming at finding different mechanisms responsible for different groups of objects in a data set. In high-dimensional data, these approaches are bound to deteriorate due to the notorious “curse of dimensionality”. In this paper, we propose a novel approach named ODMC (Outlier Detection Based On Markov Chain)，the effects of the “curse of dimensionality” are alleviated compared to purely distance-based approaches. A main advantage of our new approach is that our method is to use a major feature of an undirected weighted graph to calculate the outlier degree of each node, In a thorough experimental evaluation, we compare ODMC to the ABOD and FindFPOF for various artificial and real data set and show ODMC to perform especially well on high-dimensional data.
