Abstract

The Relaxed-Periodicity Pattern describes loose-cyclic behavior of objects while allowing uneven stretch or shrink on time axis, limited noises, and inflation /deflation of attribute values. To discover Relaxed-Periodicity from Temporal Databases, we propose the concepts of Attribute Trend, Trend Inertia, Peak-Valley Pattern, Inertia Algorithm with Anti-noise ability, as well as the Peak-Valley Algorithm, and show that the implementation prototype is efficient.
