Introduction
 Time series are an ordered sequence of values
of a variable at equally spaced time intervals.
 Traditional time series analysis and modeling
tend to be based on non-automatic and trialand-error approaches.
(Cont.)
 Time series arise in many important areas.
 Clustering of time series has attracted the
interest of researchers from a wide range of
fields.

Clustering
 The mining of time series data has attracted great
attention in the data mining community in recent
years.
 There are two main categories in time series
clustering:
 Whole clustering
 Subsequence
clustering
the clustering performed on many individual time
series to group similar series into clusters
based on sliding window extractions of a single time
series and aims to find similarity and differences
among different time window of a single time series.
(Cont.) Clustering Approach
 Hierarchical Clustering
 Generality
 Only small datasets
 K-Means
 Distance is minimized
(Cont.) Time-Series
 Use lower dimensionality that preserves the
original information
 Describes the original shape of the time-series
data as closely as possible.
(Cont.)
 Another categorization of clustering time series is the
classification in model based or model free.
 Model based
assume some form of the underlying generating process,
estimate the model from each data then cluster based
on similarity between model parameters.
 Markov chain
 Hidden Makov Models
 Model free
 Fast Fourier transforms
 Wavelet transforms
involve the specification of a specific distance
measure and/or a transformation of the data.
Evolutionary Time Series Clustering
Algorithm (ETSC)
 A new evolutionary algorithms focused on
whole clustering of time series, called
Evolutionary Time Series Clustering- ETSC is
presented.
(Cont.)
 Apply an evolutionary algorithm for solving
a problem is To find :
1. A suitable representation for candidate
solutions
2. By finding a good representation for
clustering time series dataset.
 The fitness function will be considered a
similarity measure of time series
(Cont.)
 Two time-series are similarity

if they have enough non overlapping time
ordered subsequences that are similar.
 Two subsequences are similarity

if one is enclosed within an envelope of a user
defined width around another

Experimental Results
Conclusions and Future Work
 An evolutionary approach to perform clustering on
time series data set was presented.
 Some different fitness functions are tested.
Hierarchical Clustering
Calculate the similarity
between all possible
combinations of two profiles
Keys
• Similarity
• Clustering
Two most similar clusters
are grouped together to form
a new cluster
Calculate the similarity
between the new cluster and
all remaining clusters.

Evoluationary Algorithm
 Evolutionary algorithms are randomized search
optimization techniques guided by the principles of
natural biology evolution processes
(Cont.)
(Cont.)
 They are effective and robust search processes
provide a near optimal solution of a fitness function.
(Cont.)
 Evolutionary algorithms are used to improve the
robustness and accuracy of the more traditional
techniques used in feature extraction, feature
selection, classification and clustering
