Abstract
Techniques for an exponential moving maximum (EMM) filter for predictive analytics in network reporting are disclosed. In some embodiments, a process for predictive analytics in network reporting using an EMM filter includes pre-processing network-related data by performing exponential moving maximum (EMM) filtering on the network-related data; and determining predictive analytics based on the EMM filtered network-related data.
Claims20
A system for predictive analytics in network reporting, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- pre-process network-related data by performing exponential moving maximum (EMM) filtering on the network-related data, comprising to:
- aggregate a number of transactions per a period of time of network events over a plurality of periods of time to obtain the network-related data;
- and
- perform the EMM filtering on the network-related data, comprising to:
- identify a local maximum value from the network-related data based on a filtering window size, wherein the filtering window size relates to a period of time;
- and
- identify one or more bubble points based on one or more identified local maximum values over a range of time, wherein the range of time relates to one or more filtering window sizes, wherein a bubble point of the one or more bubble points over shadow other non-local maximum values, and wherein the one or more bubble points relates to the EMM filtered network-related data;
- and
- determine predictive analytics based on the EMM filtered network-related data, comprising to:
- generate a trend prediction based on the EMM filtered network-related data, comprising to:
- predict network bottlenecks in a network deployment using the identified local maximum value;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
