Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for facilitating generation of synthetic datasets having anomalies. The system may receive a command to generate a synthetic time series dataset. The system may generate data points for components of the synthetic dataset, the components including a seasonality function, a trend function, and a noise function. The system may determine minimum and maximum changes relative to the variance of the noise data points. The system may generate anomalies by replacing values of one or more noise data points with values between the minimum and maximum changes. The system may then generate the synthetic time series dataset having anomalies by combining the seasonality data points, the trend data points, and the noise data points into corresponding time slots of the synthetic time series dataset.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for overcoming lost opportunities in the world of car vetting, bidding, and acquisition.
