# Trend Ruby

Ruby client for [Trend](https://trendapi.org), the anomaly detection and forecasting API

[![Build Status](https://github.com/ankane/trend-ruby/workflows/build/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/ankane/trend-ruby/actions)

## Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

```ruby
gem "trend"
```

For the [self-hosted API](https://github.com/ankane/trend-api), create an initializer with:

```ruby
Trend.url = "http://localhost:8000"
```

## Anomaly Detection

Detect anomalies in a time series

```ruby
# generate series
series = {}
date = Date.parse("2023-04-01")
28.times do
  series[date] = rand(100)
  date += 1
end

# add an anomaly on Apr 21
series[date - 8] = 999

Trend.anomalies(series)
```

Works great with [Groupdate](https://github.com/ankane/groupdate)

```ruby
series = User.group_by_day(:created_at).count
Trend.anomalies(series)
```

## Forecasting

Get future predictions for a time series

```ruby
series = {}
date = Date.parse("2023-04-01")
28.times do
  series[date] = date.wday
  date += 1
end

Trend.forecast(series)
```

Also works great with Groupdate

```ruby
series = User.group_by_day(:created_at).count
Trend.forecast(series)
```

Specify the number of predictions to return

```ruby
Trend.forecast(series, count: 3)
```

## Correlation [experimental]

Get the correlation between two time series

```ruby
Trend.correlation(series, series2)
```
