Future network condition predictor for network time series data utilizing a hidden markov model for non-anomalous data and a gaussian mixture model for anomalous data

Abstract

System and method embodiments are provided for adaptive anomaly detection based predictor for network data. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method in a network component for predicting values of future network time series data includes receiving, with one or more receivers, network time series data; determining, with one or more processors, whether an anomaly is detected in the network time series data; generating, with the one or more processors, a prediction associated with the network data according to a primary predictor when no anomaly is detected in the network time series data; generating, with the one or more processors, the prediction associated with the network data according to an alternative predictor when an anomaly in the network time series data is detected; and sending, with one or more transmitters, the prediction to a network controller, wherein the network controller uses the prediction to adjust network parameters.
