Appendix: Anomaly Detection Tips

As we wind down the content for this book, it occurred to us that there's still a plethora of good, bite-sized explanations, examples, and pieces of advice that didn't quite fit into sections of the other chapters. It therefore made sense to give them a home all to themselves here in the Appendix. Enjoy this potpourri of tips, tricks, and advice!

The following topics will be covered here in the Appendix:

  • Understanding influencers in split versus non-split jobs
  • Using one-sided functions to your advantage
  • Ignoring time periods
  • Using custom rules and filters to your advantage
  • Anomaly detection job throughput considerations
  • Avoiding the over-engineering of a use case
  • Using anomaly detection on runtime fields
