ABSTRACT
Building practical and efficient intrusion detection systems in computer network is important in industrial
areas today and machine learning technique provides a set of effective algorithms to detect network
intrusion. To find out appropriate algorithms for building such kinds of systems, it is necessary to evaluate
various types of machine learning algorithms based on specific criteria. In this paper, we propose a novel
evaluation formula which incorporates 6 indexes into our comprehensive measurement, including
precision, recall, root mean square error, training time, sample complexity and practicability, in order to
find algorithms which have high detection rate, low training time, need less training samples and are easy
to use like constructing, understanding and analyzing models. Detailed evaluation process is designed to
get all necessary assessment indicators and 6 kinds of machine learning algorithms are evaluated.
Experimental results illustrate that Logistic Regression shows the best overall performance.

1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, computer network has been widely used in many aspects of human life and network
security is becoming more essential to all companies and institutions using the Internet [1].
Intrusion detection is an active network security protection method which can collect and analyze
network traffic data, aiming to find out whether there are malicious internal behaviours violating
security policy and signs of being attacked by external intruders. Although there are already
many off-the-shelf intrusion detection systems existing in market, these systems are too
sophisticated or expensive to be afforded by companies and institutions lacking capital and
technology. Hence, to find out algorithms which are able to be utilized simply, quickly and
effectively is important to the information security of many small and medium-sized enterprises.

Since 1990s, machine learning techniques began to be used in intrusion detection. Different
machine learning algorithms have different suitable circumstances in which they can be applied
and get best performance. For a particular kind of field, it is necessary to make comparisons
between various types of algorithms based on specific criteria which suit that field. Sangkatsanee
et al. [2] used total detection rate as their evaluation index and compared 6 kinds of algorithms.
Besides, they also applied information gain to select 12 important features and proposed a
pretreatment method to reduce false alarm rate. Mitrokotsa et al. [3] analyzed 5 supervised
learning algorithms for intrusion detection in mobile ad-hoc networks, and examined the
discrimination capability under different parameters. Huang et al. [4] proposed a novel feature set
extracted from application packages and evaluated 4 types of algorithms for detecting malicious
behavior in Android platform. Singh et al. [5] evaluated 5 types of machine learning algorithms
in terms of classifying Internet Protocol (IP) traffic. Chandrashekhar and Raghuveer [6] analyzed
4 most representative clustering methods and experiment showed that k-means and fuzzy c-
means had a good result on accuracy and computation time. Chakchai et al. [7] used both KDD
CUP dataset and recent HTTP BOTNET attacks and evaluated six classification schemes. Giray
et al. [8] applied normal and noisy datasets for network intrusion detection and evaluated various
classification algorithms. The results illustrated that noise is necessary for evaluating algorithms
since the realistic environment is noisy. Nadiammai and Hemalatha [9] analyzed various rule and
function based classifiers and found that SMO has a better performance than others.
In this paper, we propose a formula which incorporates 6 evaluation indexes, including precision,
recall, root mean square error (RMSE), training time, sample complexity and practicability.
These factors are all important in industrial areas and should be taken into account together to
evaluate algorithms. In particular, precision measures the correctness of detection while recall
shows whether algorithms have detect most of the attack data. RMSE indicates the magnitude of
residuals and training time is the approximate time needed to get a trained model. Sample
complexity means the necessary number of training samples demanded in order to achieve a
stable level of accuracy. Practicability indicates whether it is easy to construct, understand and
analyze models. Training time, sample complexity and practicability are given out as penalty
values where bigger values will have a more negative impact on evaluation result.
We also design a process to get all the needed indicators. First, we set penalty values of
practicability for algorithms by analyzing whether it is easy to use these algorithms in terms of
common understanding. Second, we prepare training set with various sizes to determine a rough
sample complexity for all algorithms. Third, perform all algorithms on one unique dataset and get
all necessary assessment indicators. Finally, we calculate the comprehensive evaluation scores for
all algorithms and analyze the results. Experimental results illustrate that Logistic Regression
shows the best overall performance and Decision Tree also has a high overall evaluation result.
These two algorithms have strong potential to be applied to lightweight intrusion detection
circumstances. However, MLP and RBF Network may not be practical for building lightweight
intrusion detection systems since their overall performances are relatively low.
This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 briefly reviews related work. Section 3 illustrates
our proposed evaluation formula, gives information about how to determine penalty values and
sample complexity and presents the designed evaluation process. Section 4 shows experimental
results and Section 5 summarizes this paper.

2. RELATED WORK
2.1. Machine learning
Machine learning is a set of algorithms which are able to find potential patterns in data and use
these patterns to predict unlabeled data. In 1959, Arthur Samuel [10] informally defined machine
learning as a subject which tries to figure out how to make computer solve real problems
automatically without programming detailed code. For example, he developed the Samuel
Checkers-playing Program which had the ability to learn a reasonable way to play and managed
to defeat many human players. In this section, we briefly introduce the machine learning
algorithms used in this paper, which are Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, Multilayer Perceptron,
Radial Basis Function Network, Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine.
2.1.1. Decision Tree
Decision Tree [11] is a very important machine learning algorithm. It is a prediction model
containing a series of nodes including one root node and a number of checking nodes. Each node
classifies input data based on the mapping relation stored on that node. The process of classifying
data starts with the root node and keeps checking data on each node until the data reach the end
of the tree and get an output. The classification process is human-understandable and easy to
implement. Also, little effort needs to be paid in terms of pretreating data such as reducing
redundancy or transforming discrete data into numerical value.
2.1.2. Naïve Bayes
Naïve Bayes [12] is a simple probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem. This method
assumes that the features in sample are not relevant with each other. Although this assumption is
not true in many cases, this method is still able to achieve a high accuracy in many practical
applications. To estimate its main parameters, i.e. mean and variance of features, Naïve Bayes
only needs a small amount of data and linear time, which makes it much more efficient and less
cost on computation. Due to this simplicity in building features and calculation, be applied in
many fields like information retrieval, text classification and automatic medical diagnosis.
2.1.3. Multilayer Perceptron
Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) [13] is a feedforward artificial neural network, which has been
widely used in applications like speech recognition, image recognition and machine translation.
A MLP has one or more hidden layers which connect input layer and output layer. In order to
train the network, an algorithm called backpropagation is often used. This model has a strong
ability to classify nonlinear data and to approximate functions.
2.1.4. Radial basis function network
Radial basis function network (RBF Network) [14] is a kind of artificial neural networks with
radial basis functions as its activation functions. Different from the MLP, it often contains only
one hidden layer and uses Euclidean distance to combine input data instead of inner product. This
network can be used in function approximation, time series prediction and control of a chaotic
time series.

2.1.5. Logistic Regression
Logistic Regression [15] is widely applied in many fields now, including sociology, marketing
and computational advertising. One commonly used model is called binary logistic model which,
by utilizing a logistic function, calculates the probability of a binary output value with several
features. These features can be both continuous and discrete types, such as real, binary and
categorical variables. The implementation is relatively easy and the outcomes also have clear
explanation, but the features used should be independent with each other in order to get accurate
parameters.
2.1.6. Support Vector Machine
Support Vector Machine (SVM) [16] has been regarded as the state-of-the-art method in machine
learning. It aims to find the maximum-margin hyperplane that has the largest distance to the
nearest training sample, thus considerably reducing the generalization error. Samples are
classified based on the side a sample falls. SVM can effectively cope with both linear and
nonlinear data. For samples that are not linearly separable, a practical way is to apply kernel trick
to map data to a higher dimension which can discriminate data easier. In fields like hand-written
characters and medical science, SVM has been used to solve these problems.
2.2. KDD99 dataset
The KDD99 dataset [17] was created by MIT Lincoln Labs. The researchers built up an
environment and gained 9 weeks of raw TCP dump data from a simulated military network. Both
normal data and attack data were created and recorded. The attack data mainly have 4 types,
which are denial-of-service (DOS), unauthorized remote access (R2L), unauthorized local access
to privileges (U2R) and probing. There are 41 features in this dataset and they can be divided into
4 categories: basic features of individual TCP connections, content features within a connection,
traffic features in a two-second time window and features from recent 100 connections to the
same host.
2.3. Evaluation method
2.3.1. Confusion matrix
In machine learning, confusion matrix [18] is generally used to visualize the performance of an
algorithm. This method illustrates test results in the form of a matrix, with each column of the
matrix representing a prediction of samples to specific classes, and each line representing samples
in actual classes. The typical confusion matrix with two classes is shown below:
Table 1. Confusion matrix with two classes
Predicted as positive Predicted as negative
Actual positive sample True Positive False Negative
Actual negative sample False Positive True Negative

5
In particular, the meaning of each cell is shown in the following table:
Table 2. Meaning of confusion matrix
Prediction result Abbreviation Meaning
True Positive TP
The actual positive sample is correctly
predicted to be positive.
False Negative FN
The actual positive sample is wrongly
predicted to be negative.
False Positive FP
The actual negative sample is wrongly
predicted to be positive.
True Negative TN
The actual negative sample is correctly
predicted to be negative.
Based on the above four basic definitions, we can get the following evaluation measurements:

where Precision represents the proportion of samples predicted as positive that are true positive,
while Recall means the proportion of positive samples that are actually predicted as positive.
Accuracy indicates the proportion of the samples that are correctly classified. F1Score represents
a trade-off between Precision and Recall, which can usually be used as a single index to measure
the efficiency of algorithms.
2.3.2. Root Mean Squared Error
Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is often used to measure the deviation between the actual
value of samples and the value predicted by algorithms. It calculates the square root of the mean
of the square of all errors. The less RMSE means the algorithms’ predictions are closer to actual
value. Give n samples y and their corresponding predicted values ŷ , the RMSE is defined as:

3. EVALUATION METHOD FOR FINDING LIGHTWEIGHT ALGORITHMS
3.1. Proposed evaluation formula
In this paper, we propose a novel evaluation method to find out a lightweight algorithm for
intrusion detection. We incorporate 6 indexes into our comprehensive measurement, including
precision, recall, RMSE, training time, sample complexity and practicability. Specifically,
training time means the time needed to train a model, sample complexity is the number of
samples needed in order to achieve its best performance. Practicability indicates whether it is
easy to construct, understand and analyze trained models.
Given a set of algorithms M={M1,…,M6}, we proposed below formula for the evaluation of each
algorithm Mi:
( ) ( ) ( )
1 1 1
i i i i
Ranker M F Score RMSE PV
= × − × − (6)
where F1Score, according to formula (4), has combined precision and recall, and PVi means
penalty value for algorithm i. In order to take training time, sample complexity and practicability
into account, we set corresponding penalty values PVi1, PVi2 and PVi3 respectively to represent
above 3 dimensions for each algorithm i. A bigger penalty values means longer time to train,
more necessary numbers of samples needed and more complicated to use.
According to above definition of penalty values, the penalty value for algorithm i is calculated
by:

i ij

where ɑ is used to normalize the penalty values and is computed by:
6 3

i j
PV

∑∑ (8)
3.2. Define penalty values for practicability
In our evaluation scheme, we assign number 1, 2 and 3 to the penalty values PVij to indicate
algorithms’ training time, sample complexity and practicability. The penalty values for training
time and sample complexity will be determined by experimental results in next section. As
question about the advantages and disadvantages of different machine learning algorithms is a
really complex topic, in this section, we will give penalty values for practicability by analyzing
whether it is easy to use the algorithms in terms of common understanding. The detailed analysis
is given below.
The mathematic forms for Logistic Regression and Naïve Bayes are both simple to implement
and easy to train. The outputs of them both have a reasonable probabilistic interpretation, which
will be useful for other purpose like ranking instead of classification. In addition, there are

7
already many learning systems based on these algorithms such as predicting buying preferences
and filtering spam emails. Therefore, we set the penalty values for Logistic Regression and Naïve
Bayes as 1.
The classification process of Decision Tree is understandable for humans and it can easily treat
nonlinear data. However, the model is easily to overfit data and repeated modeling process is
often needed. It also has problems in dealing with missing value so that thorough pretreatment for
data is necessary. For SVM, although it can effectively cope with nonlinear data, the choice of
kernel function will be a potential question. Besides, the trained model is incomprehensible for
humans, which prevent further improvement by analyzing the model. It also needs massive
tuning process to adjust its models to perform better, which may be hard for practical
environment. Thus, we set penalty values for Decision Tree and SVM as 2.
Despite the fact that MLP and RBF Network have the ability to achieve a high accuracy, they are
very complicated in terms of finding appropriate network topology, understanding the meaning of
the learning process and interpreting the output value. We therefore set penalty values for MLP
and RBF Network as 3.
The penalty values for practicability is organized in below table:
Table 3. Penalty values for practicability
Algorithms Penalty values for practicability
Decision Tree 2
Logistic 1
MLP 3
Naïve Bayes 1
RBF Network 3
SVM 2
3.3. Determine sample complexity
To determine the samples needed for every algorithms to get its best performance, we set up a
sequence of datasets S with various sizes. Given a set of algorithms M={M1,…,M6}, we train
every algorithm i on dataset Sj and get a hypothesis noted as hij:
( )
,
=
ij i j
h train M S (9)
For each hij, we test its performance on testing set and get its F1Score:
1 ( , )
ij test ij
F Score test S h
= (10)
To determine the number of samples at which point a particular algorithm is convergence, we
calculate change of F1Score on every two consecutive sizes of training sample, i.e. the gradient of
F1Score:
( ) 1 1 ( 1)
−
′ ≈ −
ij j ij i j
f S F Score F Score (11)

8
If the change rate f ʹij(Sj) is less than a threshold, we will choose Sj as its sample complexity. The
choice of threshold for an algorithm can be specified manually from the result of experiment. For
instance, we can pick up threshold of the change rate of F1Score when the second derivative of
F1Score is less than a selected small value and does not fluctuate as the size of training set grows.
3.4. Designed evaluation process
Our whole evaluation process can be described in following steps:
Step 1: as discussed in section 3.2, we set penalty values of practicability for algorithms by
analyzing whether it is easy to use these algorithms in terms of common understanding.
Step 2: prepare training set with various sizes to determine a rough sample complexity of all
algorithms and set penalty values of sample complexity for each algorithm. We pick the
maximum number among all algorithms to ensure that all algorithms can reach their best
performance, and then build experimental training set to train all algorithms.
Step 3: perform all algorithms on one unique dataset and, by using 10-fold cross-validation
method, get performance results such as F1Score, RMSE and training time. Then, we can set
penalty values of training time for each algorithm and all required evaluation measurements are
obtained.
Step 4: calculate the comprehensive evaluation scores for all algorithms based on our proposed
formula (6), analyze the result and choose the algorithms with best overall performance.
4. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The machine learning tool Weka [19] is selected to run all algorithms. The parameters for
Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, MLP, RBF Network and Logistic Regression use default setting.
For SVM, we use radial basis function as kernel function and set parameter of normalize as true.
To determine sample complexity, we randomly pick 493965 samples from KDD99 training
dataset and divide them into 13 subsets S={S1,…,S13}. The sizes of these subset range from 60 to
247010. In particular, they are 60, 121, 242, 483, 965, 1930, 3860, 7720, 15439, 30877, 61753,
123505 and 247010. In addition, we also randomly select 6000 samples from KDD99 testing
dataset to test performance. The F1Score we get on every training set is showed below:
Figure 1. F1Score changes with the size of training set

9
The above figure shows that the performances of algorithms, when the size of training set
increases, all go up and begin to remain stable after a particular size of training set. Different
algorithms need different number of samples to achieve its maximum detection rate. To get the
sample complexity of each algorithm, we calculate change of F1Score on every two consecutive
sizes of training samples. The obtained gradient change figure with respect to training set size is
showed below:
Figure 2. Gradient of F1Score curve
It is clear from above figure that the gradient becomes smaller when the size of training set grow
up. We select the thresholds for judging convergence when the change rates are less than specific
small values. These thresholds will vary from algorithm to algorithm. The obtained sample
complexity list for all algorithms is showed below:
Table 4. Sample complexity of 6 machine learning algorithms
Algorithms Sample complexity
Decision Tree 30877
Logistic 3860
MLP 61753
Naïve Bayes 965
RBF Network 3860
SVM 1930
The list shows that Naïve Bayes needs the least number of samples to get a stable accuracy (about
1000), while MLP needs more than 60000 samples, which is the highest among all algorithms. In
order to evaluate the performance of algorithms, we must ensure that all algorithms are trained on
the same training set, which means we should choose a set containing more than about 60000
samples.
According to above test result, we establish our experimental dataset by randomly pick training
samples from KDD99 dataset for evaluating algorithms, with the size of experimental dataset
being 82337. By using 10-fold cross-validation, nine tenth of whole dataset is used as training
data. Thus, in our experiment, 74104 samples are used as training data, which is bigger than
60000, making sure that all algorithms can reach their best performance. The detailed information
of our evaluation environment is given below:

We perform 6 machine learning algorithms on above environment and get following result table:
Table 6. Performance results of 6 machine learning algorithms
Algorithms F1Score RMSE Training time
Decision Tree 0.999 0.000623 15.79
Logistic 0.994 0.006016 10.6
MLP 0.999 0.000953 2538.49
Naïve Bayes 0.982 0.017732 1.37
RBF Network 0.988 0.01217 22.37
SVM 0.993 0.006477 736.34
Based on table 4 and above table, we can assign penalty values of training time and sample
complexity for all algorithms.
For training time, as can be seen from above table, MLP and SVM need training time which is
significantly higher than other algorithms, and the other 4 types of algorithms require relatively
low training time. Thus, we assign 2 to MLP and SVM, and 1 to others.
For sample complexity, table 4 shows that Naïve Bayes needs a considerably low number of
samples. Hence we set 1 for it. Logistic Regression, RBF Network and SVM demand
approximately the same number of samples so that we assign 2 for them. The samples needed for
Decision Tree and MLP are much higher than other algorithms and we set 3 for them.
Now, all penalty values for measuring performance are gotten and are summarized in following
table:
Table 7. Penalty values for training time, sample complexity and practicability
Algorithms
Penalty values
Training time Sample complexity Practicability
Decision Tree 1 3 2
Logistic 1 2 1
MLP 2 3 3
Naïve Bayes 1 1 1
RBF Network 1 2 3
SVM 2 2 2

11
Based on above table, we can calculate penalty values for every algorithm according to formula
(7) and (8). At this stage, all necessary indicators for evaluating performance are achieved. The
F1Score, RMSE and penalty values for every algorithm are summarized in following table:
Table 8. All performance indicators
Algorithms F1Score RMSE Penalty values
Decision Tree 0.999 0.000623 0.182
Logistic 0.994 0.006016 0.121
MLP 0.999 0.000953 0.242
Naïve Bayes 0.982 0.017732 0.091
RBF Network 0.988 0.01217 0.182
SVM 0.993 0.006477 0.182
According to our proposed evaluation formula (6), we can get the comprehensive score for every
algorithm showed in below figure:
Figure 2. Comprehensive scores of 6 machine learning algorithms
As can be seen from above figure and previous tables, Logistic Regression has the biggest
comprehensive evaluation score and Decision Tree comes next, with their score much bigger than
other 4 algorithms. This means that Logistic Regression shows the best overall performance in
terms of 6 evaluation aspects. Decision Tree also have a high overall evaluation result. Thus,
these two algorithms have strong potential to be applied to lightweight intrusion detection
circumstances. Naïve Bayes ranks third and SVM ranks at fourth place. Although Naïve Bayes
has the lowest penalty values regarding training time, sample complexity and practicability, the
detection rate and RMSE are the weakness points of it and prevent it from getting a high overall
performance. MLP has very high detection rate and low RMSE, but the model is hard to train,
understand and do incremental modification, making the overall performance relatively low than
Logistic Regression and Decision Tree. Another neural network-based algorithm, RBF Network,
also shows a very low overall performance because it has no significant advantages in terms of
all evaluation criteria.

5. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we propose a novel evaluation formula which incorporates 6 indexes into our
comprehensive measurement, including precision, recall, root mean square error, training time,
sample complexity and practicability. Training time, sample complexity and practicability are
given out as penalty values where bigger values will have a more negative impact on evaluation
result. A detailed evaluation process is also designed to set penalty values of training time,
sample complexity and practicability for all algorithms and get all other evaluation indicators.
First, we set penalty values of practicability for algorithms by analyzing whether it is easy to use
these algorithms in terms of common understanding. Second, we prepare training set with various
sizes to determine a rough sample complexity for all algorithms. Third, perform all algorithms on
one unique dataset and get all necessary assessment indicators. Finally, we calculate the
comprehensive evaluation scores for all algorithms and analyze the results. Experimental results
illustrate that Logistic Regression shows the best overall performance. Decision Tree also has a
high performance, while MLP and RBF Network may not be practical for building lightweight
intrusion detection systems.
