It combines multiple independent anomaly detection models such as Isolation Forest, DBSCAN, ThymeBoost, One-Class Support Vector Machine, Local Outlier Factor and TADGAN. Then, it returns the output according as the average prediction of the individual models is above a certain threshold. This package is specially designed for univariate time series.Process Flow Diagram:Performance MetricsA confusion matrix consists of different combinations of predicted and actual anomaly labels.True Positive (TP): Number of instances correctly classified as anomaly by the model. A high value indicates that the model is accurately identifying anomalies.True Negative (TN): Number of instances correctly classified as non anomaly by the model. A high value indicates that the model is accurately identifying non-anomalies.False Positive (FP): Number of instances incorrectly classified as anomaly by the model. A high value indicates that the model is producing a large number of false alarms.False Negative (FN): Number of instances incorrectly classified as non anomaly by the model. A high value indicates that the model is failing to detect many anomalies.Predicted ClassAnomalyNon AnomalyActual ClassAnomalyTrue PositiveFalse NegativeNon AnomalyFalse PositiveTrue NegativeThe confusion matrix helps to calculate important metrics that is used to evaluate anomaly detection models:Accuracy: It measures the overall correctness of the model's predictions, calculated as (TP + TN) / (TP + TN + FP + FN).Precision: It quantifies the proportion of correctly predicted anomalies out of all predicted anomalies, calculated as TP / (TP + FP).Recall/Sensitivity: It represents the proportion of correctly predicted anomalies out of all actual anomalies, calculated as TP / (TP + FN).F1 score: It combines precision and recall into a single metric that is used in case of imbalanced classes (for eg, less anomalies and more non anomalies), calculated as 2 * (precision * recall) / (precision + recall).FeaturesWorks well when the underlying data distribution is unknown.Handles time series data.Deals with trends and seasonality.Provides options to choose anomaly detection models for ensemble learning.Suggests hyperparameters for each anomaly detection model.Provides execution time for each anomaly detection model.Provides more accurate anomaly predictions.Target audienceAnomaly_Ensemble_App should be of interest to readers who are involved in outlier detection for time series data.FunctionalityThe package consists of several modules and each module contains several functions.Package Structure:Module anomaly_libsThis module imports all the needed python libraries that are required to run the package.Module anomaly_data_preprocessingThis module contains the data preprocessing tasks which includes detrending and deseasonalising the time series, as well as finding optimal hyperparameters for the models.output = detrend(df, id_column, time_column, time_format)Definition: This function is used to identify trend and then, detrend a time series.Identify trend: Augmented Dickey Fuller Test (ADF test) is used to capture trend of the time series.Detrend: 'detrend' function is used from the 'scipy' module for detrending the time series.Input Parameters:df is the dataset.id_column is the column over which the function will iterate.time_column is the datetime column.time_format is the datetime format of time_column.Output: Returns detrended time series.output = deseasonalise(df, id_column, time_column, time_format)Definition: This function is used to determine seasonality and then, deseasonlise a time series.Determine seasonality: Autocorrelation function is used to check seasonality.Deseasonalise: 'seasonal_decompose' function is used from the 'statsmodel' module for deseasonalising the time series.Input Parameters:df is the dataset.id_column is the column over which the function will iterate.time_column is the datetime column.time_format is the datetime format of time_column.Output: Returns deseasonalised time series.min_samples = find_min_samples(df)Definition: This function is used to find an hyperparameter for DBSCAN.Find min_samples: min_samples is chosen as 2*n, where n = the dimensionlity of the data.Input Parameters: df is the dataset.Output: Returns min_samples.eps = find_eps(df)Definition: This function is used to find an hyperparameter for DBSCAN.Find eps: eps is chosen as the point of maximum curvature of the k-NN distance graph.Input Parameters: df is the dataset.Output: Returns eps.p = find_seasonal_period(df)Definition: This function is used to find an hyperparameter for Thymeboost.Find p: seasonal_period is chosen as the first expected seasonal period at the maximum amplitude, computed using Fast Fourier Transform.Input Parameters: df is the dataset.Output: Returns seasonal_period.(best_nu, best_kernel) = parameters_oc_svm(X, y, trials=10)Definition: This function is used to hyperparameters for One Class SVM.Find best_nu & best_kernel: Best optimal nu and kernal are found using Optuna hyperparameter optimization frameworkInput Parameters:df is the dataset.id_column is the column over which the function will iterate.time_column is the datetime column.time_format is the datetime format of time_column.Output: Returns best_nu and best_kernel.Module anomaly_modelsThis module contains the models which are to be fitted on the data and hence used in anomaly prediction.ifo_labels = fit_iforest(X, ** kwargs)Definition: This function is used to fit isolation forest model to the data and predict anomaly labels.Model: Isolation forest is a decision tree based anomaly detection algorithm.
