I am identifying outliers using K-means and LOF (Local Outlier Factor). Let's say if we are identifying possible outliers using both the techniques, I believe LOF will pick global outliers also as they will also be local to any cluster . LOF distance of outliers identified using K-means will always be high as they will be far away from n neighbors.
Although value of n ( neighbors) will affect LOF outliers but in broader term can I say K-means identified outliers will be subset of LOF outliers??
K-means people know well.Easy article on LOF is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_outlier_factor
My data has multiple operating regions so I am planning to go with LOF but I also believe it should incorporate most of the K-means outliers. Please guide me through this!
