Methods for identifying partial periodic patterns and corresponding event subsequences in an event sequence

摘要

A method is provided for identifying partial periodic patterns in an event sequence, wherein pattern includes a list of events from the event sequence. At least one subsequence of the event sequence and at least pattern in the at least one subsequence is identified, such that the at least one pattern exceeds a minimum number of repetitions in the at least one subsequence, and a distance between successive repetitions of the at least one pattern in the at least one subsequence does not exceed a predefined distance threshold. At least one of the at least one pattern and the at least one subsequence is stored.
