oximedia-analytics 0.1.3

//! Z-score anomaly detection over a rolling window.
//!
//! Maintains a fixed-size sliding window of recent values, computes the
//! running mean and standard deviation, and flags new observations whose
//! z-score exceeds a configurable threshold.
//!
//! For production-grade streaming anomaly detection the `crate::realtime`
//! module exposes `AnomalyDetector`, which is backed by a
//! similar algorithm.  This module provides a clean standalone API that is
//! easier to embed in pipelines that do not require the full realtime
//! aggregation stack.
