Abstract
In an embodiment, deltas are calculated between respective current metric values for respective entities and previous metric values for the respective entities. A subset of the deltas is determined. A sum of the subset is calculated, and the sum is divided by a number of the subset to create an average delta for the subset. If one of the respective entities has one of the deltas that is greater than or equal to the average delta for the subset and the one of the respective entities was not previously used to create the previous prediction, then a current prediction is created.
