chapter 9 :AI insights

1. Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection identifies unusual or abnormal patterns in data that deviate from expected behavior.

Example:
A retail store normally sells 100–120 units per day, but suddenly sales drop to 40 units.
→ The system flags this as an anomaly.

Analysis Process:

  1. Collect historical sales data.

  2. Calculate normal range or pattern.

  3. Compare new data with expected values.

  4. If deviation exceeds threshold → flag anomaly.

  5. Generate alert or insight.
