A computer-implemented method for detecting anomalies in data from a sensor comprises receiving a plurality of data points from the sensor; determining a first anomaly score component, the first anomaly score component varying according to a Cook's Distance value; determining a second anomaly score component, the second anomaly score component varying according to a singular spectrum analysis value; determining a third anomaly score component, the third anomaly score component varying according to a rolling variance rate of change value; determining a fourth anomaly score component, the fourth anomaly score component varying according to whether a current data point is within an upper bound and a lower bound; determining a total anomaly score as a function of the anomaly score components; comparing the total anomaly score to an anomaly score threshold value; and determining the data point is an anomaly if the total anomaly score is greater than the threshold value.
