Abstract

This paper describes an algorithm for discovering variable length patterns in real-valued time series. In contrast to most existing pattern discovery algorithms, ours does not first discretize the data, runs in linear time, and requires constant memory. These properties are obtained by sampling the data stream rather than processing all of the data. Empirical results show that the algorithm performs well on both synthetic and real data when compared to an exhaustive algorithm.
