Abstract
This paper presents the first review of noise models in classification covering both label and
attribute noise. Their study reveals the lack of a unified nomenclature in this field. In order to address
this problem, a tripartite nomenclature based on the structural analysis of existing noise models is
proposed. Additionally, a revision of their current taxonomies is carried out, which are combined
and updated to better reflect the nature of any model. Finally, a categorization of noise models is
proposed from a practical point of view depending on the characteristics of noise and the study
purpose. These contributions provide a variety of models to introduce noise, their characteristics
according to the proposed taxonomy and a unified way of naming them, which will facilitate their
identification and study, as well as the reproducibility of future research.
