Key Concepts

Univariate Anomaly Detection

Batch Detection: Analyze entire time series at once
Streaming Detection: Real-time detection on latest data point
Change Point Detection: Detect trend changes in time series

Multivariate Anomaly Detection

Detect anomalies across 300+ correlated signals
Uses Graph Attention Network for inter-correlations
Three-step process: Train → Inference → Results

Core Patterns

Univariate Batch Detection

import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.models.*;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.util.List;

List<TimeSeriesPoint> series = List.of(
    new TimeSeriesPoint(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-01T00:00:00Z"), 1.0),
    new TimeSeriesPoint(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-02T00:00:00Z"), 2.5),
    // ... more data points (minimum 12 points required)
);

UnivariateDetectionOptions options = new UnivariateDetectionOptions(series)
    .setGranularity(TimeGranularity.DAILY)
    .setSensitivity(95);

UnivariateEntireDetectionResult result = univariateClient.detectUnivariateEntireSeries(options);

// Check for anomalies
for (int i = 0; i < result.getIsAnomaly().size(); i++) {
    if (result.getIsAnomaly().get(i)) {
        System.out.printf("Anomaly detected at index %d with value %.2f%n",
            i, series.get(i).getValue());
    }
}

Univariate Last Point Detection (Streaming)

UnivariateLastDetectionResult lastResult = univariateClient.detectUnivariateLastPoint(options);

if (lastResult.isAnomaly()) {
    System.out.println("Latest point is an anomaly!");
    System.out.printf("Expected: %.2f, Upper: %.2f, Lower: %.2f%n",
        lastResult.getExpectedValue(),
        lastResult.getUpperMargin(),
        lastResult.getLowerMargin());
}

Change Point Detection

UnivariateChangePointDetectionOptions changeOptions = 
    new UnivariateChangePointDetectionOptions(series, TimeGranularity.DAILY);

UnivariateChangePointDetectionResult changeResult = 
    univariateClient.detectUnivariateChangePoint(changeOptions);

for (int i = 0; i < changeResult.getIsChangePoint().size(); i++) {
    if (changeResult.getIsChangePoint().get(i)) {
        System.out.printf("Change point at index %d with confidence %.2f%n",
            i, changeResult.getConfidenceScores().get(i));
    }
}

Multivariate Model Training

import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.models.*;
import com.azure.core.util.polling.SyncPoller;

// Prepare training request with blob storage data
ModelInfo modelInfo = new ModelInfo()
    .setDataSource("https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/container/data.zip?sasToken")
    .setStartTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setEndTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-06-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setSlidingWindow(200)
    .setDisplayName("MyMultivariateModel");

// Train model (long-running operation)
AnomalyDetectionModel trainedModel = multivariateClient.trainMultivariateModel(modelInfo);

String modelId = trainedModel.getModelId();
System.out.println("Model ID: " + modelId);

// Check training status
AnomalyDetectionModel model = multivariateClient.getMultivariateModel(modelId);
System.out.println("Status: " + model.getModelInfo().getStatus());

Multivariate Batch Inference

MultivariateBatchDetectionOptions detectionOptions = new MultivariateBatchDetectionOptions()
    .setDataSource("https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/container/inference-data.zip?sasToken")
    .setStartTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-07-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setEndTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-07-31T00:00:00Z"))
    .setTopContributorCount(10);

MultivariateDetectionResult detectionResult = 
    multivariateClient.detectMultivariateBatchAnomaly(modelId, detectionOptions);

String resultId = detectionResult.getResultId();

// Poll for results
MultivariateDetectionResult result = multivariateClient.getBatchDetectionResult(resultId);
for (AnomalyState state : result.getResults()) {
    if (state.getValue().isAnomaly()) {
        System.out.printf("Anomaly at %s, severity: %.2f%n",
            state.getTimestamp(),
            state.getValue().getSeverity());
    }
}

Multivariate Last Point Detection

MultivariateLastDetectionOptions lastOptions = new MultivariateLastDetectionOptions()
    .setVariables(List.of(
        new VariableValues("variable1", List.of("timestamp1"), List.of(1.0f)),
        new VariableValues("variable2", List.of("timestamp1"), List.of(2.5f))
    ))
    .setTopContributorCount(5);

MultivariateLastDetectionResult lastResult = 
    multivariateClient.detectMultivariateLastAnomaly(modelId, lastOptions);

if (lastResult.getValue().isAnomaly()) {
    System.out.println("Anomaly detected!");
    // Check contributing variables
    for (AnomalyContributor contributor : lastResult.getValue().getInterpretation()) {
        System.out.printf("Variable: %s, Contribution: %.2f%n",
            contributor.getVariable(),
            contributor.getContributionScore());
    }
}

Model Management

// List all models
PagedIterable<AnomalyDetectionModel> models = multivariateClient.listMultivariateModels();
for (AnomalyDetectionModel m : models) {
    System.out.printf("Model: %s, Status: %s%n",
        m.getModelId(),
        m.getModelInfo().getStatus());
}

// Delete a model
multivariateClient.deleteMultivariateModel(modelId);

Error Handling

import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;

try {
    univariateClient.detectUnivariateEntireSeries(options);
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.out.println("Status code: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
    System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

Environment Variables

AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/
AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

Best Practices

Minimum Data Points: Univariate requires at least 12 points; more data improves accuracy
Granularity Alignment: Match TimeGranularity to your actual data frequency
Sensitivity Tuning: Higher values (0-99) detect more anomalies
Multivariate Training: Use 200-1000 sliding window based on pattern complexity
Error Handling: Always handle HttpResponseException for API errors

DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
