Definition
Temporal data mining refers to the extraction of implicit, nontrivial, and potentially useful abstract information from large collections of temporal data. Temporal data are sequences of a primary data type, most commonly numerical or categorical values, and sometimes multivariate or composite information. Examples of temporal data are regular time series (e.g., stock ticks, EEG), event sequences (e.g., sensor readings, packet traces, medical records, weblog data), and temporal databases (e.g., relations with timestamped tuples, databases with versioning). The common factor of all these sequence types is the total ordering of their elements. They differ on the type of primary information, the regularity of the elements in the sequence, and on whether there is explicit temporal information associated to each element (e.g., timestamps). There are several mining tasks that can be applied on...
