Description: Fundamental methods about anomaly and change detection in a process or an environment. Methods covered include the univariate and multivariate analysis for continuous and discrete data, the data pre-analysis methods (such as dimension reduction), and the scan statistics. Methods of anomaly and change detection find themselves in a broad spectrum of applications, including manufacturing quality control, health care delivery, as well as homeland security.
