Application of Mathematical Statistical Methods Based on Random Forest Algorithm in Big Data Anomaly Detection
Abstract
In big data anomaly detection, traditional methods often struggle to handle complex noise and interference factors, so innovative technology combination solutions are necessary. This paper proposes a detection framework that integrates multiple strategies to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection by combining random forest algorithms. First, the data is preprocessed using exponential smoothing to remove potential outliers and ensure data quality. Then, k-means clustering was used to classify the data and group the data for subsequent processing. After that, principal component analysis (PCA) is used for feature extraction to reduce the data dimension and retain the main features, thereby minimising the impact of redundant information. On this basis, multiple decision trees are constructed using the random forest algorithm, and integrated learning and random sampling strategies are employed to enhance the stability and accuracy of the model. After several iterations and weight updates, the final model can output accurate classification results and complete anomaly detection. Experiments show that the proposed method can complete data processing within 25 seconds, with an accuracy rate of 92.3% and a false positive rate of only 4.3%, verifying its excellent performance and practical application value in a big data environment. Overall, the proposed system provides a highly efficient and accurate model for big data anomaly detection. Methods employed include exponential smoothing, k-means clustering, PCA, and random forest, achieving an accuracy of 92.3% with a few false positives.
