IDENTIFYING AND RANKING ANOMALOUS MEASUREMENTS TO IDENTIFY FAULTY DATA SOURCES IN A MULTI-SOURCE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Techniques for identifying anomalous multi-source data points and ranking the contributions of measurement sources of the multi-source data points are disclosed. A system obtains a data point including a plurality of measurements from a plurality of sources. The system determines that the data point is an anomalous data point based on a deviation of the data point from a plurality of additional data points. The system determines a contribution of two or more measurements, from the plurality of measurements, to the deviation of the data point from the plurality of additional data points. The system ranks the at least the two or more measurements, from the plurality of measurements, based on the respective contribution of each of the two or more measurements to the deviation of the anomalous data point from the plurality of prior data points.
