Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing event correlation in a network are disclosed. For example, the method extracts a plurality of events of interest from a database, and creates one or more event time series from the plurality of events of interest, wherein each of the one or more event time series comprises a set of events of a same type and of a same location that occur within a given time period. The method forms one or more composite events from the one or more event time series, and performs one or more pair-wise correlations for at least one of: the event time-series, or the one or more composite events. The method then identifies one or more pair-wise correlations that are statistically significant.
