Time Series

A comparison of a variable to itself over time. One of the most common time series, especially in technical analysis, is a comparison of prices over time. For example, one may compile a time series of a security over the course of a week or a month or a year, and then use it in the determination of future price movements.

time series

A set of variables with values related to the respective times the variables are measured. Thus, a weekly record of a stock's price throughout a period of years is a time series. Time series are often used to project future values by observing how the value of a variable has changed in the past.

time series

any statistical information recorded over successive time periods. See TIME-SERIES ANALYSIS.

From a time series [x.sub.i] (1 [less than or equal to] i [less than or equal to] N), we can construct an L x K * (K=N-L+1) trajectory matrix X with a window size L (Vautard et al., 1992) as follows,

Although the quantization of SAX can be advantageous for retrieval purposes, it is not suitable for finding clusters of time series having similar shapes, since it is not sufficiently accurate for measuring distances among time series in the clustering problem [15].

Two famous econometricians formulated the strategy of forecasting a times series called the Box-Jenkins method named after the statisticians George Box and Gwilym Jenkins, [11] this method applies autoregressive moving average (ARMA) or autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models to find the best fit of a time-series model to past values of a time series. The Box-Jenkins method (ARIMA) is one of the most widely used time series forecasting methods in practice [4].
