This affects the Talos Sheriff because on Monday when our volume of pushes picks up, we get a larger range of values.  Due to the way we calculate a regression, it means that we see a shift in our expected range on Monday.  Usually these alerts are generated Monday evening/Tuesday morning.  These are typically small regressions (<3%) and on the noisier tests.

== What is a multi-modal test? ==
Many tests are bi-modal or multi-modal.  This means that they have a consistent set of values, but 2 or 3 of them.  Instead of having a bunch of scattered values between the low and high, you will have 2 values, the lower one and the higher one.
