Anomaly Detection

After uploading a dataset, the user can start working with the uploaded dataset to build and apply anomaly detection models.

This section explains how to use the TIM Python client to create an anomaly detection job, execute such a job, combine both into a single method call and retrieve results. It also explains how to delete jobs from the TIM Repository.

build_anomaly_detection_model - create an anomaly detection model building job

build_anomaly_detection_model(self, dataset_id: str, job_configuration: Optional[tim.data_sources.anomaly_detection.types.BuildAnomalyDetectionModelConfiguration] = None) -> str

The build_anomaly_detection_model method registers an anomaly detection model building job in the TIM repository. This method is called on the authenticated instance of Tim created as described in Authentication ("client"), like in the following statement:

client.build_anomaly_detection_model(dataset_id = <dataset ID>, job_configuration = <job configuration>)

using keyword arguments, or in the following statement:

client.build_anomaly_detection_model(<dataset ID>, <job configuration>)

using positional arguments, where <dataset ID> and <job configuration> are replaced by the ID and Dictionary representing them, respectively.

The arguments are:

  • dataset_id: the ID of a dataset in the TIM repository,
