Constructors

constructor()

Signature

new EllipticEnvelope(opts?: object): EllipticEnvelope;

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
opts?object-
opts.assume_centered?booleanIf true, the support of robust location and covariance estimates is computed, and a covariance estimate is recomputed from it, without centering the data. Useful to work with data whose mean is significantly equal to zero but is not exactly zero. If false, the robust location and covariance are directly computed with the FastMCD algorithm without additional treatment. Default Value false
opts.contamination?numberThe amount of contamination of the data set, i.e. the proportion of outliers in the data set. Range is (0, 0.5]. Default Value 0.1
opts.random_state?numberDetermines the pseudo random number generator for shuffling the data. Pass an int for reproducible results across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
opts.store_precision?booleanSpecify if the estimated precision is stored. Default Value true
opts.support_fraction?numberThe proportion of points to be included in the support of the raw MCD estimate. If undefined, the minimum value of support_fraction will be used within the algorithm: \[n\_sample + n\_features + 1\] / 2. Range is (0, 1).
