Symbolic Aggregation Approximation (SAX)

../../../../_images/sax.svg

Uses Symbolic Aggregation Approximation to reduce the output space into a (small) set of symbols. The input values are replaced by the value of the bin that they match. Each bin’s value corresponds to one letter or digit. This generates a string from the input values. The final output is generated by sliding a window over this string.

Definition

Input ports

Type: table
Description: input
bin_values
Type: table
Description: bin_values
Optional number of ports: 0–1 (default: 0)

Output ports

output
Type: table
Description: output
bin_values
Type: table
Description: bin_values
Optional number of ports: 0–1 (default: 0)

Configuration

Bins (bins)

Number of output bins

Sliding window (window)

Generates words using a sliding window over the generated symbols. If zero then a single string is given
