This paper proposes a nonparametric Bayesian method for exploratory data analysis and feature construction in continuous time series such as longitudinal health data. Our method focuses on understanding shared characteristics in a set of time series that exhibit significant individual variability. Each series is characterized as switching between latent states (“topics”), where each topic is ch...
