1. A computerized method of invalidating set-top box events, comprising the steps of:
- monitoring set-top box events;
storing the set-top box events in a first array;
calculating a first trend in the first array of set-top box events;
invalidating the set-top box events which are one or more statistical outliers from the first trend;
storing the invalidated set-top box events in a second array; and
calculating a second trend in the second array of invalidated set-top box events, wherein invalidated set-top box events are revalidated and new set-top box event categories to be ignored are identified based on the second trend.
