Review Complete

  • Read CONTRIBUTING.md for review guidelines
  • Read the changed documentation file
  • Verify technical accuracy of anomaly detection content
  • Verify mathematical calculations in examples
  • Check formatting, links, and code examples
  • Provide inline comments for specific issues
  • Post summary review

Summary

This PR significantly improves the anomaly detection documentation by replacing the previous high-level overview with detailed, worked examples for each seasonality type (Hourly, Daily, Weekly). The changes are well-structured and provide valuable practical guidance.

Technical Accuracy ✅

The anomaly detection approach described is sound and aligns with established statistical methods:

  • Seasonal decomposition is a well-established technique for time series analysis
  • Z-score based anomaly detection (3+ standard deviations) is the industry standard threshold
  • Mathematical calculations in all three examples are correct
  • Algorithm formula correctly implements: prediction = moving_avg(past_period) + avg(current_season) - mean(past_seasons)

Issues Found

I've added 7 inline comments addressing:

  1. Minor typos ("Drop on interest" → "Drop of interest")
  2. Empty parentheses in variance/standard deviation notation (lines 243-244)
  3. Inconsistent result formatting across examples
  4. Missing clarification on standard deviation calculation context
  5. Missing newline at end of file (POSIX compliance)

Strengths

  • Comprehensive examples with realistic scenarios (e-commerce, payment gateway, SaaS)
  • Clear time window breakdowns in table format
  • Step-by-step calculations that readers can follow
  • Good progression from simple (hourly) to complex (weekly) patterns
  • Helpful context about when to use each seasonality type

Recommendation

Approve after addressing the inline comments. The issues are minor formatting/clarity improvements that don't affect the technical correctness of the content.

Past Season 2 avg (12:05-13:05): 170ms
Past Season 3 avg (11:05-12:05): 168ms

Standard Deviation: 35ms - entire season

Typo in comment: "entire season" should be explained more clearly. Consider: "Standard Deviation: 35ms (calculated from the entire Current Season: 14:05-15:05)"

6. **Anomaly Score**: |380 - 182| / 35 = **5.66**
(5.66 > 3.0 threshold)

Result formatting inconsistency: Consider adding a label before the result for clarity, like:

**Result**: ✅ Alert triggered (5.66 > 3.0 threshold)

6. **Anomaly Score**: |4,200 - 10,250| / 2,500 = **2.42**
#### Result
(2.42 < 3.0 threshold)

Missing newline: The file should end with a newline character for POSIX compliance. Consider adding a blank line at the end.
