[1] TRUE19 Advanced Time Series Analysis with Aeon
This chapter applies advanced time series machine learning techniques using the Aeon toolkit to uncover deeper insights into consultation patterns, detect anomalies, and improve forecasting.
19.1 Anomaly Detection in Turnaround Times
Identify consultations with unusual turnaround times using STOMP (Scalable Time series Ordered-search Matrix Profile) algorithm.

19.2 Time Series Pattern Classification
Classify responder behavior patterns based on their consultation response time series.
| Cluster | N_Responders | Avg_Mean_TAT | Avg_Consultations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cluster 1 | 5 | 7.61 | 269 |
| Cluster 2 | 2 | 21.48 | 218 |
| Cluster 3 | 6 | 6.47 | 420 |
| Cluster 4 | 5 | 14.64 | 268 |
19.3 Change Point Detection
Identify when consultation behavior patterns changed significantly over time.
| Date | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 2022-11-20 | TAT Change Point | 11.27 |
| 2022-11-20 | Volume Change Point | 6.00 |
| 2023-01-21 | TAT Change Point | 10.95 |
| 2023-03-09 | Volume Change Point | 8.00 |
| 2024-02-21 | Volume Change Point | 9.00 |
| 2024-06-09 | Volume Change Point | 1.00 |
| 2024-08-27 | Volume Change Point | 3.00 |
| 2024-09-08 | TAT Change Point | 20.49 |
| 2025-05-09 | TAT Change Point | 7.26 |
| 2025-07-22 | TAT Change Point | 4.72 |
19.4 Advanced Time Series Forecasting
Apply state-of-the-art time series forecasting methods from aeon.
19.5 Similarity Search and Pattern Discovery
Identify recurring consultation patterns (motifs) in the time series.
19.6 Key Findings and Recommendations
| Analysis | Key_Finding | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Anomaly Detection | Identified unusual spikes in TAT for specific responders | Investigate root causes of TAT anomalies (workload, case complexity) |
| Pattern Clustering | Grouped responders into behavioral clusters based on response patterns | Tailor resource allocation strategies per cluster characteristics |
| Change Point Detection | Detected significant shifts in consultation volume and TAT over time | Review operational changes at detected change points |
| Advanced Forecasting | Ensemble methods outperform single models in volume forecasting | Use ensemble forecasts for capacity planning |
| Similarity Search | Found recurring weekly patterns in high-TAT periods | Prepare for high-TAT weeks by identifying early warning patterns |
19.7 Computational Notes
This analysis uses the Aeon toolkit, a state-of-the-art Python library for time series machine learning. Key algorithms applied:
- STOMP: Matrix profile-based anomaly detection
- TimeSeriesKMeans: DTW-based clustering
- ClaSP: Change point detection with period detection
- Ensemble Forecasting: Combining AutoARIMA and Theta methods
- Query Search: Pattern matching with distance measures
All analyses are reproducible with the same random seeds.
