“…Several high level representations of time series have been proposed, including Fourier Transforms [1,13], Wavelets [4], Symbolic Mappings [2,5,24] and Piecewise Linear Representation (PLR). In this work, we confine our attention to PLR, perhaps the most frequently used representation [8,10,12,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,27,28,30,31].…”
