If the prediction is perfectly right, yes.
2. If first question is true can you please explain me the 179 line? On
line 179 there is prediction which equals 0 and on line 180 original
value equals to 0 which is OK. But why I get anomaly score 1 on line
179?
Just because the best prediction is correct does not mean that the HTM
is confident that it is correct. For example, NuPIC might only be 23%
confident in the best prediction it gives, in which case the anomaly
score could be very high.
3. Or you can look at it vice versa: Prediction on line 180 is equal to
0 but the original value on line 181 is 3. So I assume prediction
was wrong. Why anomaly score on line 180 equals to 0? Does it means
that NuPIC believe that it is predicting the correct value but in
fact it was wrong?
I would not pay too much attention to the anomaly score (or
predictions for that matter) until the model has seen a few thousand
rows of data. It looks like it has seen less than 200 rows as this
point, so the anomaly scores can vary wildly until it establishes what
the data patterns are.

Hello Matt,
Can this be generalized that if NuPIC returns bouncing (non stable)
anomaly score then it is either because NuPIC does not see enough data
or because the data are not predictable?
Thank you very much
