Preventing Meaningless Stock Time Series Pattern Discovery by Changing Perceptually Important Point Detection

Discovery of interesting or frequently appearing time series patterns is one of the important tasks in various time series data mining applications. However, recent research criticized that discovering subsequence patterns in time series using clustering approaches is meaningless. It is due to the presence of trivial matched subsequences in the formation of the time series subsequences using sliding window method. The objective of this paper is to propose a threshold-free approach to improve the method for segmenting long stock time series into subsequences using sliding window. The proposed approach filters the trivial matched subsequences by changing Perceptually Important Point (PIP) detection and reduced the dimension by PIP identification.
