Random Cut Forest

Random Cut Forest (RCF) algorithms are a class of machine learning methods primarily used for anomaly detection, particularly in high-dimensional datasets and time series. Research focuses on improving RCF's efficiency and robustness, including variations like Robust RCF (RRCF) and weighted RCF (WRCF), which employ adaptive or density-based splitting strategies to enhance performance compared to simpler methods like Isolation Forest. These advancements are significant because effective anomaly detection is crucial for various applications, from identifying outliers in financial transactions to detecting faults in complex systems.
