CMG'12: "Time‐Series: Forecasting + Regression"

I continue sharing my impressions about last 2012 year international www.CMG.org  conference.


(see previous: HERE and HERE).

This post is about Alex Gilgur paper. First time I met Alex in CMG'06 conference and put some note of his 2006 paper HERE. We met at several other CMG conferences and we talked a lot, mixing high matters (philosophy, physics and math) with our Capacity Management needs.... One of that discussion expired him to write the following paper:
Time-Series: Forecasting + Regression: “And” or “Or”?

In the agenda announcement he mentioned that fact and I really appreciate it:
"At CMG’11, I had a fascinating discussion with Dr. I.Trubin. We talked about Uncertainty, Second Law of Thermodynamics, and other high matters in relation to IT. That discussion prompted this paper..."

Reading the paper I was impressed how he combined the trending analysis with the business driver data correlation technique. I do that quite often, one example was published in my CMG'12 paper as well and summary slide can be seen here:

:

But in his work the technique is formed in a very elegant mathematical way and also he used Little’s Law to fight the most unpleasant statisticians rule: "Correlation Does Not Imply Causation". 


In the next post I will put some comments about his another CMG'12 paper called:
"A Note on Knee Detection"

Wavelets and Anomaly Detection - another CMG'12 paper

In the CMG'12 conference agenda I see another interesting paper appeared and it is written by Dima Seliverstov who I have met before in another CMG conference and mentioned in this blog

His paper is called 
"Introduction to Wavelets and their Application for Computer Performance Trend and
Anomaly Detection"


The very short abstract is 
"In this session, I will present a technique to identify trends and anomalies in Performance data using wavelets. I will answer the following questions: Why use Wavelets? What are Wavelets? How do I use them?"

CMG'12 conference Monday: 2:45 pm ‐ 3:45 pm Subject Area: Capacity Planning

I plan to attend. You?
