Abstract

The process of detecting intrusion on network traffic has always remained a key concern for security researchers. During the previous years, intrusion detection had attracted many researchers to find anomaly on NSL-KDD data set. Hence, most of the approaches applied on NSL KDD data set were supervised approaches. We had conducted statistical analysis on this data set using Dirichlet Mixture model. We have seen initialization using Aitchison distance fits better for proportional data. The feature selection highly affects both the performance and results into an improved evaluation of anomaly detection by an unsupervised approach.
