Univariate Anomaly Detection - Change Points and Best Practices

Univariate Anomaly Detection - Change Points and Best Practices

Learn to build and perform anomaly detection on univariate data using the Azure Anomaly Detectors.

We'll cover the following...

To recap, in the previous lesson we discussed the two approaches to detect the anomalies in time-series data. In this lesson, we’ll explore the third scenario—detecting change points in the time-series data. We’ll take the same sample data set of the stock prices with their timestamp.

Detecting change points in the time-series data

Let’s explore how change points are detected in the time-series data.
