Method for creating period profile for time-series data with recurrent patterns

Abstract:

Techniques are described for generating period profiles. According to an embodiment, a set of time series data is received, where the set of time series data includes data spanning a plurality of time windows having a seasonal period. Based at least in part on the set of time-series data, a first set of sub-periods of the seasonal period is associated with a particular class of seasonal pattern. A profile for a seasonal period that identifies which sub-periods of the seasonal period are associated with the particular class of seasonal pattern is generated and stored, in volatile or non-volatile storage. Based on the profile, a visualization is generated for at least one sub-period of the first set of sub-periods of the seasonal period that indicates that the at least one sub-period is part of the particular class of seasonal pattern.
