EVICTION OF WEAKLY CORRELATED SIGNALS FROM COLLECTIONS

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with eviction of weakly correlated signals from collections are described. In one embodiment, a mock signal that has random signal properties is generated. A mock correlation coefficient between the mock signal and a measured time series signal from a collection of measured time series signals is then generated. A discrimination value that indicates a weak signal correlation is then selected, based at least in part on the mock correlation coefficient. A first measured signal is then identified from the collection of measured time series signals that has the weak signal correlation by determining that a first correlation coefficient between the first measured signal and a second measured signal is weak based on the discrimination value. The first measured signal is then evicted from the collection of signals in response to the determination that the first measured signal has the weak signal correlation.
