Fourier Transform for Anamoly Detection

In this workflow I demonstrate how the Fourier Transform along with basic aggregations and rule settings can be used to automatically detect anomalies on when armed with only "normal" data.

Preprocess data so series are of the proper length.The Fourier Transform requires series of length 2^n. We use 512. Use the FFT component to compute theFourier Transform. Calculate mean and standard deviation by frequencyDetermine how many standard deviations away example test data isAverage the distance across all frequenciesIf over 2 then flag anomally.Note that in this example it is 14! one examplecolumncreate multiplewindows of length 512# of rows amultiple of 512find meand andvariance for eachfrequencyone examplecolumn# of rows amultiple of 512Join withteststd frommeanaverage stdfrom meanmore than 2 stdflag anomalyNormal FunctionBad Bearing Fast FourierTransform (FFT) Column Filter Chunk Loop Start Column Filter Missing Value Loop End Row Filter GroupBy Column Filter Row Filter Fast FourierTransform (FFT) Missing Value Column Filter Joiner Math Formula GroupBy Rule Engine Table Reader Table Reader Preprocess data so series are of the proper length.The Fourier Transform requires series of length 2^n.
