## Client Creation

### Sync and Async Clients

```java
import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.AnomalyDetectorClientBuilder;
import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.MultivariateClient;
import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.UnivariateClient;
import com.azure.core.credential.AzureKeyCredential;

String endpoint = System.getenv("AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_ENDPOINT");
String key = System.getenv("AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_API_KEY");

// Multivariate client for multiple correlated signals
MultivariateClient multivariateClient = new AnomalyDetectorClientBuilder()
    .credential(new AzureKeyCredential(key))
    .endpoint(endpoint)
    .buildMultivariateClient();

// Univariate client for single variable analysis

## Key Concepts

### Univariate Anomaly Detection
- **Batch Detection**: Analyze entire time series at once
- **Streaming Detection**: Real-time detection on latest data point
- **Change Point Detection**: Detect trend changes in time series

### Multivariate Anomaly Detection
- Detect anomalies across 300+ correlated signals
- Uses Graph Attention Network for inter-correlations
- Three-step process: Train → Inference → Results

## Core Patterns

### Univariate Batch Detection

```java
import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.models.*;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.util.List;

List<TimeSeriesPoint> series = List.of(
    new TimeSeriesPoint(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-01T00:00:00Z"), 1.0),
    new TimeSeriesPoint(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-02T00:00:00Z"), 2.5),
    // ... more data points (minimum 12 points required)
);

UnivariateDetectionOptions options = new UnivariateDetectionOptions(series)
    .setGranularity(TimeGranularity.DAILY)
    .setSensitivity(95);

UnivariateEntireDetectionResult result = univariateClient.detectUnivariateEntireSeries(options);

// Check for anomalies
for (int i = 0; i < result.getIsAnomaly().size(); i++) {
    if (result.getIsAnomaly().get(i)) {
        System.out.printf("Anomaly detected at index %d with value %.2f%n",
            i, series.get(i).getValue());
    }
}
```

### Univariate Last Point Detection (Streaming)

```java
UnivariateLastDetectionResult lastResult = univariateClient.detectUnivariateLastPoint(options);

if (lastResult.isAnomaly()) {
    System.out.println("Latest point is an anomaly!");
    System.out.printf("Expected: %.2f, Upper: %.2f, Lower: %.2f%n",
        lastResult.getExpectedValue(),
        lastResult.getUpperMargin(),
        lastResult.getLowerMargin());
}
```

### Change Point Detection

```java
UnivariateChangePointDetectionOptions changeOptions = 
    new UnivariateChangePointDetectionOptions(series, TimeGranularity.DAILY);

UnivariateChangePointDetectionResult changeResult = 
    univariateClient.detectUnivariateChangePoint(changeOptions);

for (int i = 0; i < changeResult.getIsChangePoint().size(); i++) {
    if (changeResult.getIsChangePoint().get(i)) {
        System.out.printf("Change point at index %d with confidence %.2f%n",
            i, changeResult.getConfidenceScores().get(i));
    }
}
```

### Multivariate Model Training

```java
import com.azure.ai.anomalydetector.models.*;
import com.azure.core.util.polling.SyncPoller;

// Prepare training request with blob storage data
ModelInfo modelInfo = new ModelInfo()
    .setDataSource("https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/container/data.zip?sasToken")
    .setStartTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-01-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setEndTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-06-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setSlidingWindow(200)
    .setDisplayName("MyMultivariateModel");

// Train model (long-running operation)
AnomalyDetectionModel trainedModel = multivariateClient.trainMultivariateModel(modelInfo);

String modelId = trainedModel.getModelId();
System.out.println("Model ID: " + modelId);

// Check training status
AnomalyDetectionModel model = multivariateClient.getMultivariateModel(modelId);
System.out.println("Status: " + model.getModelInfo().getStatus());
```

### Multivariate Batch Inference

```java
MultivariateBatchDetectionOptions detectionOptions = new MultivariateBatchDetectionOptions()
    .setDataSource("https://storage.blob.core.windows.net/container/inference-data.zip?sasToken")
    .setStartTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-07-01T00:00:00Z"))
    .setEndTime(OffsetDateTime.parse("2023-07-31T00:00:00Z"))
    .setTopContributorCount(10);

MultivariateDetectionResult detectionResult = 
    multivariateClient.detectMultivariateBatchAnomaly(modelId, detectionOptions);

String resultId = detectionResult.getResultId();

// Poll for results
MultivariateDetectionResult result = multivariateClient.getBatchDetectionResult(resultId);
for (AnomalyState state : result.getResults()) {
    if (state.getValue().isAnomaly()) {
        System.out.printf("Anomaly at %s, severity: %.2f%n",
            state.getTimestamp(),
            state.getValue().getSeverity());
    }
}
```

### Multivariate Last Point Detection

```java
MultivariateLastDetectionOptions lastOptions = new MultivariateLastDetectionOptions()
    .setVariables(List.of(
        new VariableValues("variable1", List.of("timestamp1"), List.of(1.0f)),
        new VariableValues("variable2", List.of("timestamp1"), List.of(2.5f))
    ))
    .setTopContributorCount(5);

MultivariateLastDetectionResult lastResult = 
    multivariateClient.detectMultivariateLastAnomaly(modelId, lastOptions);

if (lastResult.getValue().isAnomaly()) {
    System.out.println("Anomaly detected!");
    // Check contributing variables
    for (AnomalyContributor contributor : lastResult.getValue().getInterpretation()) {
        System.out.printf("Variable: %s, Contribution: %.2f%n",
            contributor.getVariable(),
            contributor.getContributionScore());
    }
}
```

### Model Management

```java
// List all models
PagedIterable<AnomalyDetectionModel> models = multivariateClient.listMultivariateModels();
for (AnomalyDetectionModel m : models) {
    System.out.printf("Model: %s, Status: %s%n",
        m.getModelId(),
        m.getModelInfo().getStatus());
}

// Delete a model
multivariateClient.deleteMultivariateModel(modelId);
```

## Error Handling

```java
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;

try {
    univariateClient.detectUnivariateEntireSeries(options);
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.out.println("Status code: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
    System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/
AZURE_ANOMALY_DETECTOR_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
```

## Best Practices

1. **Minimum Data Points**: Univariate requires at least 12 points; more data improves accuracy
2. **Granularity Alignment**: Match `TimeGranularity` to your actual data frequency
3. **Sensitivity Tuning**: Higher values (0-99) detect more anomalies
4. **Multivariate Training**: Use 200-1000 sliding window based on pattern complexity
5. **Error Handling**: Always handle `HttpResponseException` for API errors
