Volume Under the Surface: A New Accuracy Evaluation Measure for Time-Series Anomaly Detection
Summary: New accuracy measures for time-series anomaly detection that address range-based anomalies. Extends AUC-based evaluation and introduces VUS (Volume Under the Surface), a parameter-free, threshold-independent family; claims superior robustness to noise, misalignment, and varying anomaly cardinality.
