RT: resilient transformation for anomaly detection in heteroscedastic time series
摘要
Heteroscedastic time series exhibit non-constant variance over time, which undermines the effectiveness of classical anomaly detection methods based on fixed thresholds. In particular, it affects the identification of contextual anomalies whose detection depends on local variability. To address this challenge, this paper proposes the resilient transformation (RT), which modifies the original series through complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition, selection of high-frequency components based on roughness, differentiation, and normalization by local dispersion. This transformation equalizes variance and highlights pointwise deviations. Evaluations using the Yahoo! S5 dataset, with the Harbinger framework, show that RT improves the performance of classical methods and can be combined with thresholding to form an autonomous detector (detection method) named anomaly detector by resilient transformation.
