In view of the importance of various components and asynchronous shapes of multivariate time series, a clustering method based on dynamic time warping and affinity propagation is proposed. From the two perspectives of the global and local properties information of multivariate time series, the relationship between the data objects is described. It uses dynamic time warping to measure the similarity between original time series data and obtain the similarity between the corresponding components. Moreover, it also uses the affinity propagation to cluster based on the similarity matrices and, respectively, establishes the correlation matrices for various components and the whole information of multivariate time series. In addition, we further put forward the synthetical correlation matrix to better reflect the relationship between multivariate time series data. Again the affinity propagation algorithm is applied to clustering the synthetical correlation matrix, which realizes the clustering analysis of the original multivariate time series data. Numerical experimental results demonstrate that the efficiency of the proposed method is superior to the traditional ones.

Abstract Time series similarity measures are highly relevant in a wide range of emerging applications including training machine learning models, classification, and predictive modeling. Standard similarity measures for time series most often involve point-to-point distance measures including Euclidean distance and Dynamic Time Warping. Such similarity measures fundamentally require the fluctuation of values in the time series being compared to follow a corresponding order or cadence for similarity to be established. Other existing approaches use local statistical tests to detect structural changes in time series. This paper is spurred by the exploration of a broader definition of similarity, namely one that takes into account the sheer numerical resemblance between sets of statistical properties for time series segments irrespectively of value labeling. Further, the presence of common pattern components between time series segments was examined even if they occur in a permuted order, which would not necessarily satisfy the criteria of more conventional point-to-point distance measures. The newly defined similarity measures were tested on time series data representing over 20 years of cooperation intent expressed in global media sentiment. Tests determined whether the newly defined similarity measures would accurately identify stronger resemblance, on average, for pairings of similar time series segments (exhibiting overall decline) than pairings of differing segments (exhibiting overall decline and overall rise). The ability to identify patterns other than the obvious overall rise or decline that can accurately relate samples is regarded as a first step towards assessing the value of the newly explored similarity measures for classification or prediction. Results were compared with those of Dynamic Time Warping on the same data for context. Surprisingly, the test for numerical resemblance between sets of statistical properties established stronger resemblance for pairings of decline years with greater statistical significance than Dynamic Time Warping on the particular data and sample size used.

Initially used in speech recognition, the dynamic time warping algorithm (DTW) has regained popularity with the widespread use of time series data. While demonstrating good performance, this elastic measure has two significant drawbacks: high computational costs and the possibility of pathological warping paths. Due to the balance between performance and the tightness of restrictions, the effects of many improvement techniques are either limited in effect or use accuracy as a trade-off. In this chapter, the authors discuss segmented-DTW (segDTW) and its applications. The intuition behind significant features is first established. Then considering the variability of different datasets, the relationship between specific global feature selection parameters, feature numbers, and performance are demonstrated. Other than the improvement in computational speed and scalability, another advantage of segDTW is that while it can be a stand-alone heuristic, it can also be easily combined with other DTW improvement methods.

Many kinds of spatial–temporal data collected by transportation systems, such as user order systems or automated fare-collection (AFC) systems, can be discretized and converted into time-series data. With the technique of time-series data mining, certain travel-demand patterns of different areas in the city can be detected. This study proposes a data-mining model for understanding the patterns and regularities of human activities in urban areas from spatiotemporal datasets. This model uses a grid-based method to convert spatiotemporal point datasets into discretized temporal sequences. Time-series analysis technique dynamic time warping (DTW) is then used to describe the similarity between travel-demand sequences, while the clustering algorithm density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), based on modified DTW, is used to detect clusters among the travel-demand samples. Four typical patterns are found, including balanced and unbalanced cases. These findings can help to understand the land-use structure and commuting activities of a city. The results indicate that the grid-based model and time-series analysis model developed in this study can effectively uncover the spatiotemporal characteristics of travel demand from usage data in public transportation systems.
