Abstract

In this paper, we give experimental evaluation of our time-series decision tree induction method under various conditions. Our time-series tree has a value (i.e. a time sequence) of a time-series attribute in its internal node, and splits examples based on dissimilarity between a pair of time sequences. Our method selects, for a split test, a time sequence which exists in data by exhaustive search based on class and shape information. It has been empirically observed that the method induces accurate and comprehensive decision trees in time-series classification, which has gaining increasing attention due to its importance in various real-world applications. The evaluation has revealed several important findings including interaction between a split test and its measure of goodness.
