Claims that static thresholds converge with sampling while dynamic thresholds cut false positives using feedback and multivariate models. Demonstrations use IQR filtering, percentiles (P90, P99.999), standard deviation and the Law of Large Numbers to show cronjob experiments where more iterations reduce variance. Dynamic methods include curve fitting with A,B,C (70% fit reported, low σ), and ML options: logistic regression, kNN, SVM, isolation forest and PCA/DBSCAN. Practical: iterative numeric methods produce actionable thresholds for autoscaling and anomaly detection.
