Utils for Anomaly Detection

Common functions used throughout the Anomaly Detection module.

darts.ad.utils.eval_metric_from_binary_prediction(anomalies, pred_anomalies, window=1, metric='recall')[source]

Computes a score/metric between predicted anomalies against true anomalies.

pred_anomalies and anomalies must have:

  • identical dimensions (number of time steps and number of components/columns),

  • binary values belonging to the two classes (1 if it is an anomaly and 0 if not)

If one series is given for anomalies and pred_anomalies contains more than one series, the function will consider anomalies as the true anomalies for all scores in pred_scores.

Parameters
  • anomalies (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) ground truth binary anomaly series (1 if it is an anomaly and 0 if not).

  • pred_anomalies (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) predicted binary anomaly series.

  • window (Union[int, Sequence[int]]) – Integer value indicating the number of past samples each point represents in the pred_scores. The parameter will be used to transform anomalies. If a list of integers, the length must match the number of series in pred_scores. If an integer, the value will be used for every series in pred_scores and anomalies.

  • metric (Literal[‘recall’, ‘precision’, ‘f1’, ‘accuracy’]) – The name of the metric function to use. Must be one of “recall”, “precision”, “f1”, and “accuracy”. Default: “recall”.

Return type

Union[float, Sequence[float], Sequence[Sequence[float]]]

Returns

  • float – A single score for univariate pred_anomalies series (with only one component/column).

  • Sequence[float] – A sequence (list) of scores for:

    • multivariate pred_anomalies series (multiple components). Gives a score for each component.

    • a sequence (list) of univariate pred_anomalies series. Gives a score for each series.

  • Sequence[Sequence[float]] – A sequence of sequences of scores for a sequence of multivariate pred_anomalies series. Gives a score for each series (outer sequence) and component (inner sequence).

darts.ad.utils.eval_metric_from_scores(anomalies, pred_scores, window=1, metric='AUC_ROC')[source]

Computes a score/metric between anomaly scores against true anomalies.

anomalies and pred_scores must have the same shape. anomalies must be binary and have values belonging to the two classes (0 and 1).

If one series is given for anomalies and pred_scores contains more than one series, the function will consider anomalies as the ground truth anomalies for all scores in pred_scores.

Parameters
  • anomalies (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) ground truth binary anomaly series (1 if it is an anomaly and 0 if not).

  • pred_scores (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) of estimated anomaly score series indicating how anomalous each window of size w is.

  • window (Union[int, Sequence[int]]) – Integer value indicating the number of past samples each point represents in the pred_scores. The parameter will be used to transform anomalies. If a list of integers, the length must match the number of series in pred_scores. If an integer, the value will be used for every series in pred_scores and anomalies.

  • metric (Literal[‘AUC_ROC’, ‘AUC_PR’]) – The name of the metric function to use. Must be one of “AUC_ROC” (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) and “AUC_PR” (Average Precision from scores). Default: “AUC_ROC”.

Return type

Union[float, Sequence[float], Sequence[Sequence[float]]]

Returns

  • float – A single score/metric for univariate pred_scores series (with only one component/column).

  • Sequence[float] – A sequence (list) of scores for:

    • multivariate pred_scores series (multiple components). Gives a score for each component.

    • a sequence (list) of univariate pred_scores series. Gives a score for each series.

  • Sequence[Sequence[float]] – A sequence of sequences of scores for a sequence of multivariate pred_scores series. Gives a score for each series (outer sequence) and component (inner sequence).

darts.ad.utils.show_anomalies_from_scores(series, anomalies=None, pred_series=None, pred_scores=None, window=1, names_of_scorers=None, title=None, metric=None)[source]

Plot the results generated by an anomaly model.

The plot will be composed of the following:
  • the actual series itself with the output of the model (if given)

  • the anomaly score of each scorer. The scorer with different windows will be separated.

  • the actual anomalies, if given.

If pred_series is stochastic (i.e., if it has multiple samples), the function will plot:
  • the mean per timestamp

  • the quantile 0.95 for an upper bound

  • the quantile 0.05 for a lower bound

Possible to:
  • add a title to the figure with the parameter title

  • give personalized names for the scorers with names_of_scorers

  • show the results of a metric for each anomaly score (AUC_ROC or AUC_PR), if the actual anomalies is given

Parameters
  • series (TimeSeries) – The actual series to visualize anomalies from.

  • anomalies (Optional[TimeSeries, None]) – The ground truth of the anomalies (1 if it is an anomaly and 0 if not).

  • pred_series (Optional[TimeSeries, None]) – Output of the model given as input the series (can be stochastic).

  • pred_scores (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries], None]) – Output of the scorers given the output of the model and series.

  • window (Union[int, Sequence[int]]) – Window parameter for each anomaly scores. Default: 1. If a list of anomaly scores is given, the same default window will be used for every score.

  • names_of_scorers (Union[str, Sequence[str], None]) – Name of the scores. Must be a list of length equal to the number of scorers in the anomaly_model. Only effective when pred_scores is not None.

  • title (Optional[str, None]) – Title of the figure

  • metric (Optional[Literal[‘AUC_ROC’, ‘AUC_PR’], None]) – Optionally, the name of the metric function to use. Must be one of “AUC_ROC” (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) and “AUC_PR” (Average Precision from scores). Only effective when pred_scores is not None. Default: “AUC_ROC”.
