With the advent of smart devices and the Internet, data is being generated from various sources including mobile phones, sensor networks, telecommunications, satellites, log data, business, health care and many government sectors where the data is likely to arrive with speed. Data which flows continuously with respect to time is called streaming data and detection anomaly in such data in real time is an open challenge. Detecting anomaly in right time facilitates the appropriate control actions for the anomaly in right time. There are several techniques for detecting anomaly. In this paper, an overview of different techniques for detection of anomaly is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
