Resampling and data handling rules

You can configure the resampling rule and data handling rules that are used by the product.

Resampling rule

Resampling rules affect the way data is aggregated. Two options are available for resampling data:
None
No resampling technique is performed on the original data set.
Downsampling
Data is downsampled. Downsampling rebalances the distribution between failure events and non-failure events to increase the proportion of failure events.

Data handling rules

Data handling rules specify the aggregation rule and missing value rule for each column in the event file. You can define data handling rules for individual fields. The options for aggregation rule and missing value rule depend on the type of field.

The following table describes the types of aggregation rules.
Table 1. Aggregation rules
Aggregation rule Description
T_IF_ANY_T True if any true. If one or more true values exist, then true is used.
F_IF_ANY_F False if any false. If one or more false values exist, then false is used.
mode The value that occurs most frequently is used.
first The value that occurs first is used.
last The value that occurs last is used.
sum The sum of all values is used.
mean The average of all values is used.
max The maximum value is used.
min The minimum value is used.
count The number of events in the time period is used.
The following table describes the types of missing value rules.
Table 2. Missing value rules
Missing value rule Description
false If the event does not have this value, false is used.
ffill The last available value is used.
bfill The first available value is used.
mean The average is used.
min The minimum value is used.
max The maximum value is used.
interpolate A linear interpolation is used.
