Claim Text:
1. A method comprising steps of: tracking interaction of a plurality of users with a computing system to collect statistical data of said user interaction, wherein the statistical data is collected in each of a plurality of sampling intervals; applying the collected statistical data to a digital linear recursive filter that is configured to combine and filter the collected statistical data, wherein the digital linear recursive filter comprises a discrete time implementation of a continuous time filter with an impulse response function that is defined, at least in part, by at least one cyclical function that represents a cyclical trend exhibited by the plurality of users interacting with the computing system; utilizing the filtered statistical data to compute final statistics of said user interaction with the computing system; and utilizing the final statistics to identify anomalous activity involving the computing system, wherein the tracking, applying, and utilizing steps are performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
