Hi I am analyzing data with the Elastic X-Pack. What does the "actual" and "typical" columns mean? Is it the severity? the count of emails? I do not understand. Thank you ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/7/67e0c845ae2d5b1cfe277ecb0097ed72754c1fb0.png) ---

`actual` is the value that was observed for that detector in that particular bucket. `typical` is the value that the model is expecting given past behavior. ---
