  1. Distance Functions for Sequence Data and Time Series

  2. Time Series Databases • A time series is a sequence of real numbers, representing the measurements of a real variable at equal time intervals • Stock prices • Volume of sales over time • Daily temperature readings • ECG data • A time series database is a large collection of time series

  3. Time Series Problems (from a database perspective) • The Similarity Problem X = x1, x2, …, xn and Y = y1, y2, …, yn • Define and compute Sim(X, Y) • E.g. do stocks X and Y have similar movements? • Retrieve efficiently similar time series (Indexing for Similarity Queries)

  4. Metric Distances • What properties should a similarity distance have? • D(A,B) = D(B,A) Symmetry • D(A,A) = 0 Constancy of Self-Similarity • D(A,B) >= 0 Positivity • D(A,B)  D(A,C) + D(B,C) Triangular Inequality

  5. Euclidean Similarity Measure • View each sequence as a point in n-dimensional Euclidean space (n = length of each sequence) • Define (dis-)similarity between sequences X and Y as p=1 Manhattan distance p=2 Euclidean distance

  6. Dynamic Time Warping[Berndt, Clifford, 1994] • Allows acceleration-deceleration of signals along the time dimension • Basic idea • Consider X = x1, x2, …, xn , and Y = y1, y2, …, yn • We are allowed to extend each sequence by repeating elements • Euclidean distance now calculated between the extended sequences X’ and Y’ • Matrix M, where mij = d(xi, yj)

  7. Example Euclidean distance vs DTW

  8. j = i + w warping path j = i – w Dynamic Time Warping[Berndt, Clifford, 1994] Y y3 y2 y1 x1 x2 x3 X

  9. Restrictions on Warping Paths • Monotonicity • Path should not go down or to the left • Continuity • No elements may be skipped in a sequence • Warping Window | i – j | <= w

  10. Formulation • Let D(i, j) refer to the dynamic time warping distance between the subsequences x1, x2, …, xi y1, y2, …, yj D(i, j) = | xi – yj | + min { D(i – 1, j), D(i – 1, j – 1), D(i, j – 1) }

  11. Solution by Dynamic Programming • Basic implementation = O(n2) where n is the length of the sequences • will have to solve the problem for each (i, j) pair • If warping window is specified, then O(nw) • Only solve for the (i, j) pairs where | i – j | <= w

  12. Gap skipped Longest Common Subsequence Measures(Allowing for Gaps in Sequences)

  13. Basic LCS Idea X = 3, 2, 5, 7, 4, 8, 10, 7 Y = 2, 5, 4, 7, 3, 10, 8, 6 LCS = 2, 5, 7, 10 • Sim(X,Y) = |LCS| or Sim(X,Y) = |LCS| /n

  14. LCSS distance for Time Series We can extend the idea of LCS to Time Series using a threshold e for matching. The distance for two subsequences: x1, x2, …, xi and y1, y2, …, yj is: LCSS[i,j] = 0 if i=0 or j=0 1+ LCSS[i-1, j-1] if |xi – yj | < e max(LCSS[i-1, j], LCSS[i, j-1]) otherwise

  15. Edit Distance for Strings • Given two strings sequences we define the distance between the sequences as the minimum number of edit operation that need to be performed to transform one sequence to the other. Edit operation are insertion, deletion and substitution of single characters. • This is also called Levenshtein distance

  16. Computing Edit distance • We can compute edit distance using the following function: ed(i,j) = ed(i-1, j-1) if xi = yj min (ed(i-1,j) +1, if xi≠ yj ed(i, j-1) +1, ed(i-1, j-1)+1) for two strings x1x2x3…xi and y1y2y3…yj

  17. DP for Edit distance • Given the function, we can design a Dynamic Programming algorithm to find the distance in O(mn) where m and n are the sizes of the two strings. • More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

  18. int LevenshteinDistance(char s[1..m], char t[1..n]) { // for all i and j, d[i,j] will hold the Levenshtein distance between // the first i characters of s and the first j characters of t; // note that d has (m+1)x(n+1) values declare int d[0..m, 0..n] for i from 0 to m d[i, 0] := i // the distance of any first string to an empty second string for j from 0 to n d[0, j] := j // the distance of any second string to an empty first string for j from 1 to n { for i from 1 to m { if s[i] = t[j] then d[i, j] := d[i-1, j-1] // no operation required else d[i, j] := minimum ( d[i-1, j] + 1, // a deletion d[i, j-1] + 1, // an insertion d[i-1, j-1] + 1 // a substitution ) } } return d[m,n] } From wikipedia page

  19. Metric properties and Indexing • Edit distance is a metric! So, we can use metric indexes • DTW and LCSS are not metrics… we have to use specialized indexes
