Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method, system, and a computer readable article of manufacture identify local patterns in at least one time series data stream. A data stream is received that comprises at least one set of time series data. The at least one set of time series data is formed into a set of multiple ordered levels of time series data. Multiple ordered levels of hierarchical approximation functions are generated directly from the multiple ordered levels of time series data. A set of approximating functions are created for each level. A current window with a current window length is selected from a set of varying window lengths. The set of approximating functions created at one level in the multiple ordered levels is passed to a subsequent level as a set of time series data. The multiple ordered levels of hierarchical approximation functions are stored into memory after being generated.
