Showcase examples

The Showcase contains the following examples, grouped by analytic.

Predict Numerical Fields

Algorithm: Linear Regression

Example Dataset Description
Predict Server Power Consumption Server power (server_power.csv) Predicts the power usage of a machine based on other metrics such as CPU utilization and memory transactions.

Predict the Energy Output of a Power Plant Power plant humidity (power_plant.csv) Predicts the power output of the power plant given other measured variables, such as ambient temperature and humidity.

Predict Categorical Fields

Algorithm: Logistic Regression

Example Dataset Description
Predict the Failure of Hard Drives using SMART Metrics Disk failures (disk_failures.csv) Predicts whether the hard drive is going to fail based on various indicators of drive reliability.
Predict the Presence of Malware from Firewall Traffic Firewall traffic (firewall_traffic.csv) Predicts whether the firewall is going to be affected by malware or has a vulnerability or not based on various traffic indicators on the firewall.
Predict Telecom Customer Churn Churn (churn.csv) Predicts whether a customer will change providers (denoted as churn) based on the usage pattern of customers.
Predict Incidence of Diabetes from Health Metrics Diabetes (diabetes.csv) Predicts response in diabetes data.
Predict Vehicle Type from Onboard Metrics Track day (track_day.csv) Predicts the vehicle type given other onboard metrics.

Detect Numerical Outliers

Algorithm: Distribution statistics

Example Dataset Description
Detect Outliers in Server Response Time Server response time (hostperf.csv) Detects outliers in server response time.
Detect Outliers in Number of Logins (vs. Predicted Value) Employee logins (logins.csv) Forecasts the number of logins by hour and identify when the actual number of logins differs significantly from our forecast.
Detect Outliers in Supermarket Purchases Supermarket purchases (supermarket.csv) Detects outliers in the quantity of purchases at a supermarket.
Detect Outliers in Power Plant Humidity Power plant humidity (power_plant.csv) Detects outliers in humidity of a power plant.

Detect Categorical Outliers

Algorithm: Probabilistic measures

Example Dataset Description
Detect Outliers in Disk Failure Events Disk failures (disk_failures.csv) Detects categorical outliers in disk failure data.
Detect Outliers in Bitcoin Transactions Bitcoin transactions (bitcoin_transactions.csv) Detects outliers in bitcoin transactions that may reflect unusual activity.

Detect Outliers in Mortgage Contract Data Mortgage loans for New York (mortgage_loan_ny.csv) Detects outliers in mortgage loans in New York.
Detect Outliers in Diabetes Patient Records Diabetic data (diabetic.csv) Detects outliers in diabetic data.
Detect Outliers in Mobile Phone Activity Phone usage (phone_usage.csv) Detects outliers in the number of calls that are incoming, outgoing, or missed from various phones.

Forecast Time Series

Algorithm: State-space Method using Kalman Filter

Example Dataset Description
Forecast Internet Traffic Internet traffic (internet_traffic.csv) Forecasts the peak and off-peak times of internet usage given a few full cycles of internet traffic history.
Forecast the Number of Employee Logins Employee logins (logins.csv) Forecasts the number of logins by hour.
Forecast Monthly Sales Souvenir sales (souvenir_sales.csv) Forecasts the number of souvenir sales by month for a Souvenir Shop.
Forecast the Number of Bluetooth Devices Bluetooth devices (bluetooth.csv) Forecasts the number of distinct Bluetooth contacts that are made to the access points placed in the busiest lecture halls on the campus of the National University of Singapore.

Cluster Numeric Events

Algorithms: K-means, DBSCAN, Spectral Clustering, BIRCH

Example Dataset Description
