Probability Histograms

Probability Histograms

A probability histogram is a visual representation of a probability distribution. Similar a typical histogram, the probability histogram consists of contiguous (adjoining) boxes. It has both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data represents. The vertical axis is labeled with probability. Each rectangular bar in the histogram is 1 unit wide, which suggests that the area under each bar equals the probability, P(x), where x is 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Aggregates Classification

Aggregates Classification

Aggregate classification is generally based on its size, petrographic characteristics, weight, and source. Size classification ranges from coarse to fine aggregates, defined by the size of the particles. Coarse aggregates are particles that do not pass through ASTM sieve No. 4, and aggregates that pass through the sieve are fine aggregates.
Petrographic classification groups aggregates based on common mineralogical characteristics. Some of the common mineral groups found in aggregates are...

Classification of Systems-I

Classification of Systems-I

Linearity is a system property characterized by a direct input-output relationship, combining homogeneity and additivity.
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

Force Classification

Force Classification

Forces play a crucial role in the study of physics and engineering. They are essential in describing the motion, behavior, and equilibrium of objects in the physical world. Forces can be classified based on their origin, type, and direction of action.
Contact and non-contact forces are two of the most widely used categories of forces. As the name suggests, contact forces require physical contact between two objects to act upon each other. Examples of contact forces include frictional,...

Classification of Systems-II

Classification of Systems-II

Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,

Probability Distributions

Probability Distributions

The probability of a random variable x is the likelihood of its occurrence. A probability distribution represents the probabilities of a random variable using a formula, graph, or table. There are two types of probability distribution– discrete probability distribution and continuous probability distribution.
A discrete probability distribution is a probability distribution of discrete random variables. It can be categorized into binomial probability distribution and Poisson...

Background:

Contemporary devices generate vast amounts of time series data.
Efficient feature extraction is crucial for dimensionality reduction and information preservation.
Existing methods face challenges in handling variable-length time series and interpretability.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel time series feature extraction technique, State Changes Representation for Time Series (SCRTS).
To develop a length-independent method for consistent feature generation across different time series.
To enable visual interpretation of time series characteristics for better understanding.

Main Methods:

The State Changes Representation for Time Series (SCRTS) method was developed.
SCRTS utilizes conditional probabilities (Markov model features) and value distributions.
The technique generates a fixed number of features regardless of the input time series length.

Main Results:

SCRTS significantly reduced time series dimensionality, e.g., from 5499 to 31 values.
The method achieved high classification accuracy, reaching 98% in optimal scenarios.
Visual representations provided insights into distinguishing characteristics of different time series.

Conclusions:

SCRTS is an effective and efficient technique for time series feature extraction.
The method offers significant dimensionality reduction while preserving relevant information.
SCRTS demonstrates strong performance in classification tasks and aids in data interpretability.
