sklearn.datasets.fetch_kddcup99

sklearn.datasets.fetch_kddcup99(subset=None, shuffle=False, random_state=None, percent10=True, download_if_missing=True)

Load and return the kddcup 99 dataset (classification).

The KDD Cup ‘99 dataset was created by processing the tcpdump portions of the 1998 DARPA Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Evaluation dataset, created by MIT Lincoln Lab [1] . The artificial data was generated using a closed network and hand-injected attacks to produce a large number of different types of attack with normal activity in the background. As the initial goal was to produce a large training set for supervised learning algorithms, there is a large proportion (80.1%) of abnormal data which is unrealistic in real world, and inapropriate for unsupervised anomaly detection which aims at detecting ‘abnormal’ data, ie

1. qualitatively different from normal data.
2. in large minority among the observations.

We thus transform the KDD Data set into two differents data set: SA and SF.

• SA is obtained by simply selecting all the normal data, and a small proportion of abnormal data to gives an anomaly proportion of 1%.
• SF is obtained as in [2] by simply picking up the data whose attribute logged_in is positive, thus focusing on the intrusion attack, which gives a proportion of 0.3% of attack.
• http and smtp are two subsets of SF corresponding with third feature equal to ‘http’ (resp. to ‘smtp’)

General KDD structure :

Samples total	4898431
Dimensionality	41
Features	discrete (int) or continuous (float)
Targets	str, ‘normal.’ or name of the anomaly type

SA structure :

Samples total	976158
Dimensionality	41
Features	discrete (int) or continuous (float)
Targets	str, ‘normal.’ or name of the anomaly type

SF structure :

Samples total	699691
Dimensionality	4
Features	discrete (int) or continuous (float)
Targets	str, ‘normal.’ or name of the anomaly type

http structure :

Samples total	619052
Dimensionality	3
Features	discrete (int) or continuous (float)
Targets	str, ‘normal.’ or name of the anomaly type

smtp structure :

Samples total	95373
Dimensionality	3
Features	discrete (int) or continuous (float)
Targets	str, ‘normal.’ or name of the anomaly type

Parameters:

subset : None, ‘SA’, ‘SF’, ‘http’, ‘smtp’

To return the corresponding classical subsets of kddcup 99. If None, return the entire kddcup 99 dataset.

random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None)

Random state for shuffling the dataset. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random.

shuffle : bool, default=False

Whether to shuffle dataset.

percent10 : bool, default=False

Whether to load only 10 percent of the data.

download_if_missing : bool, default=True

If False, raise a IOError if the data is not locally available instead of trying to download the data from the source site.

Returns:

data : Bunch

Dictionary-like object, the interesting attributes are: ‘data’, the data to learn and ‘target’, the regression target for each sample.
