If your data is continuously ingested and you want to base the anomalies on multiple intervals, choose a larger window size. +The anomaly detector expects the shingle size to be in the range of 1 and 60. The default shingle size is 8. We recommend that you don't choose 1 unless you have two or more features. Smaller values might increase [recall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall) but also false positives. Larger values might be useful for ignoring noise in a signal. #### Preview sample anomalies
