DATA MINING IN TIME SERIES DATABASES

edited by Mark Last (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel), Abraham Kandel (Tel-Aviv University, Israel & University of South Florida, USA) & Horst Bunke (University of Bern, Switzerland)

Adding the time dimension to real-world databases produces Time Series Databases (TSDB) and introduces new aspects and difficulties to data mining and knowledge discovery. This book covers the state-of-the-art methodology for mining time series databases. The novel data mining methods presented in the book include techniques for efficient segmentation, indexing, and classification of noisy and dynamic time series. A graph-based method for anomaly detection in time series is described and the book also studies the implications of a novel and potentially useful representation of time series as strings. The problem of detecting changes in data mining models that are induced from temporal databases is additionally discussed.


Contents:
