Quick Start

import { createDiscoveryEngine } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

// Create engine
const engine = createDiscoveryEngine({
  enableAnomalyDetection: true,
  enableTrendAnalysis: true,
  enableChangepointDetection: true,
});

// Analyze time series
const series = {
  name: 'temperature',
  data: [
    { timestamp: 1000, value: 20.5 },
    { timestamp: 2000, value: 21.0 },
    { timestamp: 3000, value: 100.0 }, // anomaly
  ],
};

const results = engine.discover(series);

console.log('Anomalies:', results.anomalies);
console.log('Trends:', results.trends);
console.log('Changepoints:', results.changepoints);

Core Algorithms

1. Pattern Mining (Apriori)

Discover frequent patterns in temporal receipts:

import { mineReceiptPatterns } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const receipts = [
  { timestamp: 1000, operation: 'insert', entityType: 'Triple' },
  { timestamp: 2000, operation: 'insert', entityType: 'Triple' },
  { timestamp: 3000, operation: 'delete', entityType: 'Graph' },
];

const patterns = mineReceiptPatterns(receipts, {
  minSupport: 0.3,
  maxPatternLength: 3,
});

// Results:
// [
//   { items: ['op:insert', 'type:Triple'], support: 0.67, occurrences: 2 },
//   { items: ['op:insert'], support: 0.67, occurrences: 2 },
// ]

Performance: <1s for 10,000 receipts

2. Anomaly Detection

Detect outliers using statistical methods:

import { detectAnomalies } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const series = {
  name: 'cpu_usage',
  data: [
    { timestamp: 1000, value: 45 },
    { timestamp: 2000, value: 48 },
    { timestamp: 3000, value: 95 }, // anomaly
    { timestamp: 4000, value: 46 },
  ],
};

const anomalies = detectAnomalies(series, {
  threshold: 3.0,
  windowSize: 20,
  method: 'zscore', // or 'mad', 'iqr'
});

// Results:
// [
//   {
//     timestamp: 3000,
//     value: 95,
//     zScore: 4.2,
//     severity: 'high',
//     expectedValue: 46.3
//   }
// ]

Methods:

• zscore: Z-Score (standard deviations from mean)
• mad: Median Absolute Deviation
• iqr: Interquartile Range

Performance: <100ms for 1,000 data points

3. Trend Analysis

Identify trends using moving averages and linear regression:

import { analyzeTrends } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const series = {
  name: 'revenue',
  data: Array.from({ length: 30 }, (_, i) => ({
    timestamp: 1000 + i * 86400000,
    value: 100 + i * 5,
  })),
};

const trends = analyzeTrends(series, {
  windowSize: 10,
  smoothingFactor: 0.3,
  volatilityThreshold: 0.5,
});

// Results:
// [
//   {
//     direction: 'increasing',
//     slope: 0.0498,
//     strength: 0.98,
//     startTimestamp: 1000,
//     endTimestamp: 10000,
//     points: 10
//   }
// ]

Trend Directions: increasing, decreasing, stable, volatile

Performance: <50ms for 100 data points

4. Correlation Analysis

Find relationships between time series:

import { findCorrelation } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const series1 = {
  name: 'temperature',
  data: [
    { timestamp: 1000, value: 20 },
    { timestamp: 2000, value: 25 },
    { timestamp: 3000, value: 30 },
  ],
};

const series2 = {
  name: 'ice_cream_sales',
  data: [
    { timestamp: 1000, value: 100 },
    { timestamp: 2000, value: 150 },
    { timestamp: 3000, value: 200 },
  ],
};

const correlation = findCorrelation(series1, series2, {
  method: 'pearson', // or 'spearman'
  minOverlap: 3,
  lagMax: 5, // test lagged correlations
});

// Results:
// {
//   series1: 'temperature',
//   series2: 'ice_cream_sales',
//   coefficient: 0.99,
//   strength: 'very_strong',
//   direction: 'positive'
// }

Correlation Strengths: very_weak, weak, moderate, strong, very_strong

5. Changepoint Detection (PELT)

Detect regime changes and structural breaks:

import { detectChangepoints } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const series = {
  name: 'process_metric',
  data: [
    ...Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => ({ timestamp: 1000 + i * 1000, value: 10 })),
    ...Array.from({ length: 20 }, (_, i) => ({ timestamp: 21000 + i * 1000, value: 30 })),
  ],
};

const changepoints = detectChangepoints(series, {
  penalty: 3.0,
  minSegmentLength: 5,
  maxChangepoints: 10,
  method: 'pelt', // or 'binary_segmentation'
});

// Results:
// [
//   {
//     timestamp: 21000,
//     index: 20,
//     beforeMean: 10,
//     afterMean: 30,
//     magnitude: 20,
//     cost: 5.2
//   }
// ]

Performance: <200ms for 1,000 data points

Discovery Engine

Orchestrate all algorithms in one call:

import { createDiscoveryEngine } from '@unrdf/temporal-discovery';

const engine = createDiscoveryEngine({
  enablePatternMining: false,
  enableAnomalyDetection: true,
  enableTrendAnalysis: true,
  enableCorrelationAnalysis: true,
  enableChangepointDetection: true,
  anomalyDetection: {
    threshold: 3.0,
    windowSize: 20,
  },
  trendAnalysis: {

    smoothingFactor: 0.3,
  },
  changepoint: {
    penalty: 3.0,
    minSegmentLength: 5,
  },
});

// Analyze single series
const results = engine.discover(timeSeries);

// Analyze multiple series (enables correlation)
const results = engine.discover([series1, series2, series3]);

// Get summary
const summary = engine.getSummary(results);
console.log(summary);
// {
//   totalAnomalies: 5,
//   criticalAnomalies: 2,
//   totalTrends: 8,
//   increasingTrends: 3,
//   decreasingTrends: 2,
//   totalChangepoints: 4,
//   totalCorrelations: 3,
//   strongCorrelations: 1,
//   executionTimeMs: 45.2,
//   algorithmsRun: ['anomaly_detection', 'trend_analysis', ...]
// }

Use Cases

1. Knowledge Graph Monitoring

Monitor RDF graph evolution and detect anomalies:

const receipts = kgcEngine.getReceiptsBetween(startTime, endTime);

const patterns = mineReceiptPatterns(receipts, { minSupport: 0.2 });
console.log('Common operation patterns:', patterns);

const opCountSeries = {
  name: 'operations_per_hour',
  data: aggregateReceiptsByHour(receipts),
};

const anomalies = detectAnomalies(opCountSeries);
console.log('Unusual activity periods:', anomalies);

2. Performance Trend Analysis

Track query performance over time:

const queryMetrics = {
  name: 'query_latency_p95',
  data: queryLogs.map((log) => ({
    timestamp: log.timestamp,
    value: log.p95_latency,
  })),
};

const trends = analyzeTrends(queryMetrics);
const changepoints = detectChangepoints(queryMetrics);

console.log('Performance trends:', trends);
console.log('Performance degradations:', changepoints);

3. Multi-Metric Correlation

Find relationships between graph metrics:

const tripleCount = { name: 'triple_count', data: [...] };
const queryLatency = { name: 'query_latency', data: [...] };
const memoryUsage = { name: 'memory_usage', data: [...] };

const correlations = findMultipleCorrelations([
  tripleCount,
  queryLatency,
  memoryUsage,
]);

console.log('Metric relationships:', correlations);

4. Real-time Anomaly Alerting

Continuous anomaly detection:

const engine = createDiscoveryEngine({
  enableAnomalyDetection: true,
  anomalyDetection: { threshold: 3.0, windowSize: 100 },
});

setInterval(async () => {
  const recentData = await fetchRecentMetrics();
  const anomalies = engine.discoverAnomalies(recentData);

  const critical = anomalies.filter((a) => a.severity === 'critical');
  if (critical.length > 0) {
    await alertOps(critical);
  }
}, 60000); // Check every minute
