Claim One:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of points, each point representing a time value and a network traffic value, wherein, for each point in the plurality of points, the network traffic value is decomposable into a trend component, a seasonality component, a burst component, and a random error component; generating, using machine learning or data mining techniques, a trend equation for calculating the trend component based on the time value; generating, using machine learning or data mining techniques, a seasonality equation for calculating the seasonality component based on the time value; generating, using machine learning or data mining techniques, a burst equation for calculating the burst component based on the time value; generating a random error equation for calculating the random error component; generating a network traffic equation for calculating the network traffic value based on the time value by combining the trend equation, the seasonality equation, the burst equation, and the random error equation; and providing, via the computing device, an output indicating that the network traffic equation has been generated.
