Abstract

One of the very important issues in trend search is whether there are partial trends at different positions within a given time series? This point is also not considered frequently in trend analysis studies, because most of the time a monotonic and holistic trend is searched initially in the given time series. However, within the same time series apart from the monotonic trend there may be local trends that may indicate significant changes that may be needed for natural of artificial explanations. For the search of partial trend possibilities within a time series innovative trend approaches explained in the previous chapters are applied with a slight modification for partial trend search.
