Unbounded Array Framework (UAF) Overview

The Unbounded Array Framework is Teradata's analytics framework for:

End-to-end time series forecasting pipelines
Digital signal processing for radar, sonar, audio, and video
4D spatial analytics and image processing
Scalable analysis of high-dimensional data
Complex use cases across multiple industries

UAF functions process:

One-dimensional series indexed by time or space
Two-dimensional arrays (matrices) indexed by time, space, or both
Large datasets with robust scalability

Table Analysis Workflow

This skill automatically analyzes your time series data to generate optimized UAF workflows:

1. Time Series Structure Analysis

Temporal Column Detection: Identifies time/date columns for indexing
Value Column Classification: Distinguishes between numeric time series values
Frequency Analysis: Determines sampling frequency and intervals
Seasonality Detection: Identifies seasonal patterns and cycles

2. UAF-Specific Recommendations

Array Dimension Setup: Configures proper 1D/2D array structures
Time Indexing: Sets up appropriate temporal indexing
Parameter Optimization: Suggests optimal parameters for TD_PLOT
Pipeline Integration: Recommends complementary UAF functions

3. SQL Generation Process

UAF Syntax Generation: Creates proper Unbounded Array Framework SQL
Array Processing: Handles time series arrays and matrices
Parameter Configuration: Sets function-specific parameters
Pipeline Workflows: Generates complete analytical pipelines
