quant: a minimalist interval method for time series classification
Angus Dempster, Daniel F. Schmidt, Geoffrey I. Webb
Abstract
Abstract We show that it is possible to achieve the same accuracy, on average, as the most accurate existing interval methods for time series classification on a standard set of benchmark datasets using a single type of feature (quantiles), fixed intervals, and an ‘off the shelf’ classifier. This distillation of interval-based approaches represents a fast and accurate method for time series classification, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy on the expanded set of 142 datasets in the UCR archive with a total compute time (training and inference) of less than 15 min using a single CPU core.
