Similarity Measures and Dimensionality Reduction Techniques for Time Series Data Mining

The chapter is organized as follows. Section 2 will introduce the similarity matching
problem on time series. We will note the importance of the use of efficient data structures to
perform search, and the choice of an adequate distance measure. Section 3 will show some
of the most used distance measure for time series data mining. Section 4 will review the
above mentioned dimensionality reduction techniques.
