Outlier Detection: The Different Types of Outliers

Time series anomaly detection is a tool that detects unusual behavior, whether it's hurtful or advantageous for the business. In either case, quick outlier detection and outlier analysis can enable you to adjust your course quickly, before you lose customers, revenue, or an opportunity. The first step is knowing what types of outliers you’re up against. Chief Data Scientist Ira Cohen, co-founder of Autonomous Business Monitoring platform Anodot, covers the three main categories of outliers and how you'll see them arise in a business context.

Anodot the business monitoring platform

Business metrics are notoriously hard to monitor because of their unique context and volatile nature. Anodot’s Business Monitoring platform uses machine learning to constantly analyze and correlate every business parameter, providing real-time alerts and forecasts in their context. This is machine learning packaged in a turn-key solution – no data science experience needed.

How Xandr, AT&T's Adtech Company, Prevents Revenue Loss with Autonomous Business Monitoring

Anodot CEO and Co-Founder David Drai joined Amazon Web Services and Xandr to discuss the shift to machine learning-based anomaly detection in business monitoring. Xandr Chief Technology Officer Ben John shared how their advertising marketplace is using Anodot platform to cut detection from “up to a week to less than a day”.

Anomaly detection 101

What is anomaly detection? Anomaly detection (aka outlier analysis) is a step in data mining that identifies data points, events, and/or observations that deviate from a dataset’s normal behavior. Anomalous data can indicate critical incidents, such as a technical glitch, or potential opportunities, for instance a change in consumer behavior. Machine learning is progressively being used to automate anomaly detection.

Top 6 Functional AIOps Requirements to Evaluate in Your RFP

AIOps adoption is on the rise. According to Gartner, by 2023 40 percent of DevOps teams will augment application and infrastructure monitoring tools with AIOps platform capabilities. Use cases are also expanding beyond IT to include IT Service Management (ITSM), digital experience monitoring (DEM), DevOps, Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and third party services.

How Correlation Analysis Boosts the Efficacy of eCommerce Promotions

In the first part of the blog series, we discussed how correlation analysis can be leveraged to reduce time to detection (TTD) and time to remediation (TTR) by guiding mitigation efforts early. Further, correlation analysis helps to reduce alert fatigue by filtering out irrelevant anomalies and grouping multiple anomalies stemming from a single incident into one alert. In this part, we throw light on the applicability of correlation analysis in the realm of eCommerce, specifically, promotions.

9 Key Areas to Cover in Your Anomaly Detection RFP

Evaluating a new, unknown technology is a complicated task. Although you can articulate the goals you’re trying to achieve, you’re probably faced with multiple solutions that approach the problem in different ways and highlight varying features. To cut through the clutter, you need to figure out what questions to ask in order to evaluate which technology has the optimal capabilities to get the job done in your unique setting.
