 [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Outlier_Detection_for_PCA#Local_Outlier_Factor|Local Outlier Factor (LOF)]] is a outlier detection method that uses the local density around data points to determine if a point is an outlier. In this sense it can find outliers that global detection methods would not, as it identifies outliers in local areas. [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Outlier_Detection_for_PCA#Local_Outlier_Factor|Local Outlier Factor (LOF)]] is a outlier detection method that uses the local density around data points to determine if a point is an outlier.

-In Sift, LOF is built upon the [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis:Using_Principal_Component_Analysis_in_Biomechanics|PCA module]], to find outliers in the PC workspace scores. As such, we will need to create a PCA analysis. To show the benefits of Local Outlier Factor, we will be using the group "HipAngle_Z", as it has a good shape to demonstrate the effectiveness of LOF (multiple clusters of varying density). Specifically, create a PCA with:+In Sift, LOF is built upon the [[Sift:Principal_Component_Analysis|PCA module]], to find outliers in the PC workspace scores. As such, we will need to create a PCA analysis. To show the benefits of Local Outlier Factor, we will be using the group "HipAngle_Z", as it has a good shape to demonstrate the effectiveness of LOF (multiple clusters of varying density). Specifically, create a PCA with:
   * HipAngle_Z selected (and all workspaces)   * HipAngle_Z selected (and all workspaces)
   * 4 PCs calculated   * 4 PCs calculated
