Outlier detection in wireless sensor network based on time series approach

Sensory data inWireless Sensor Network (WSN) is not always reliable because of open environmental factors such as noise, weak received signal strength or intrusion attacks. The process of detecting highly noisy data and noisy sensor node is called outlier detection. Outlier detection is one of the f...
