Don't swarm for Anomaly models

Continuing the discussion from Bad Anomaly detection for complex periods data: This keeps coming up in different ways, so I just want to clarify. If you want to get temporal anomalies from streams of scalar data, you do not need to run a swarm. We already have model parameters you can use the are generally good at detecting scalar anomalies. You can get them by calling this function with the right parameters: Here is an example case of them being used for NAB (thanks @alavin): There you g…
