Again Percentiles! My anomaly detection tool (SonR) now has option to use percentiles to calculate UCL and LCL (Control Limits).



Let's go a listen about  percentiles at the following CMG international conference session:
 Rules of Thumb for Response Time Percentiles: How Risky are they? 
PERF
Whether externally mandated or internally tracked, the enterprise relies on governance of application service response time objectives. In many cases, achieving service requirements in terms of the average response time may not deliver an experience that delights the consumer. The consumer may request a deeper level of governance. Service providers want to achieve the promised objectives and, on the other hand, avoid over-provisioning. This paper explores rules of thumb that can be applied to estimate 90th or 95th percentiles for service response times, based on the measured or predicted mean. The risk assessment behind these recommendations is described in the paper. Various types of networks were modeled and analyzed. Even though classical queueing models rely on strict assumptions (and rarely met in the real world), it was found that the classical M/M/1 model provided a useful upper bound. Another function was evaluated for tighter accuracy.

I love Percentiles! My anomaly detection tool (SonR) now has option to use percentiles to calculate UCL and LCL (Control Limits).

The Curse of P90: An Elegant Way to Overcome it Without Magic 
CAP
Over the decades of development of methodologies and metrics for IT capacity planning and performance analysis, percentile terminology has become the lingua franca of the field. It makes sense: percentiles are easy to interpret, not sensitive to outliers, and directly usable for approximating the distribution of the variable being measured for stochastic simulations. However, depending on which percentile is used, we can miss important information, like multimodality of the metric's distribution. Another, less obvious, downside of relying on percentiles comes into play when we size infrastructure for a high percentile of demand (e.g., p90). Given that it takes time to order, manufacture, receive, and install infrastructure, this means that we need to answer the statistically nontrivial question, "what will this percentile of demand be in one to three years?" This paper discusses the issues that arise in answering it and proposes an elegant way of resolving them.

Performance Anomaly Detection & Forecasting Model (PADFM) for eRetailer Web application 
EMT
With high performance becoming a mandate, its impact & need for sophisticated performance management is realized by every e-business. Though Application Performance Management (APM) tools has brought down the performance problem diagnosis time to a great extend, these tools don't actually help in detecting the anomalies in the production environment (online or offline mode) and make forecasts on the server performance metrics for capacity sizing. Hence, robust performance anomaly detection and forecasting solution is in demand to detect anomalies in production environment and to provide forecasts on server resource demand to support in server sizing. This paper deals with the implementation of Performance Anomaly detection and Forecasting Model for an online retailer business application using statistical modeling & machine learning techniques that has yielded multi-fold benefit to the business
