| Argument | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| InputTable | Required | Specifies the name of the table that contains the input data. |
| CategoryTable | Optional | Specifies the name of the table that contains the categories (classes) for the time series in input_data_table. The default value is input_data_table. If input_categories_table is different from input_data_table, the function ignores any time series that is not in both input_categories_table and input_data_table. If a time series is represented by multiple rows in input_categories_table, these rows must contain the same category; otherwise, the function might not select the correct category. |
| IDColumn | Required | Specifies the name of the column in input_data_table and input_categories_table that contains the unique identity of a time series. |
| TimeColumn | Required | Specifies the name of the input_data_table column that contains the time axis of the data. |
| ValueColumn | Required | Specifies the name of the input_data_table column that contains the data points. |
| CategoryColumn | Required | Specifies the name of the input_categories_table column that contains the category (class) of the time series. |
| SaxSymbolsPerWindow | Optional | Specifies the SAX2 argument SymbolsPerWindow, which specifies the number of SAX code symbols to generate from a window. The symbols_per_window must an INTEGER in the range [1, 1000000]. The default value is 10. If the symbols_per_window is greater than the length of the shortest time series in input data set (d), then its value becomes d. |
| SaxMinWindowSize | Optional | Specifies the SAX2 argument WindowSize , which specifies the size of the sliding window. The min_window_size defines the length (number of data points) of the shortest shapelet; the minimum span (time series length) used to distinguish two time series from each other. The min_window_size must be an integer in the range [1, 1000000]. The default value is 10. If the min_window_size is greater than the length of the shortest time series in input data set (d), then its value becomes d. If min_window_size is smaller than symbols_per_window, then its value becomes symbols_per_window. |
| SaxMaxWindowSize | Optional | Specifies the SAX2 argument WindowSize , which specifies the size of the sliding window. The max_window_size defines the length of the longest shapelet; the maximum span used to distinguish two time series from each other. The max_window_size must be an integer in the range [1, 1000000] that is greater than or equal to min_window_size. The default value is 70. If the max_window_size is greater than the length of the shortest time series in input data set (d), then its value becomes d. A greater difference between min_window_size and max_window_size increases the probability of identifying better shapelets at the cost of higher execution time. The function uses this formula to compute the number of sliding windows, n: n = ((max_window_size - min_window_size) / symbols_per_window)+1 The maximum value of n is 20. |
| SaxOutputFrequency | Optional | Specifies SAX2 argument OutputFrequency, which specifies the number of data points to skip between successive sliding windows. The gap_between_windows must be an integer in the range [1, 1000]. The default value is 10. A smaller value increases accuracy (the chance of distinguishing time series from each other) at the cost of higher execution time. |
| ModelTable | Optional | Specifies the name of the output model table that contains trained shapelets. The default output_model_table is "shapelet_model". |
| OverwriteOutput | Optional | Specifies whether to overwrite output_model_table, if it exists. The default value is 'false'. |
| RandomProjections | Optional | Specifies the number of iterations required for random masking of SAX words during shapelet training. The projections must be an INTEGER in the range [1, 40]. The default value is 10. Specifying a greater projections for a longer input time series increases the probability of identifying better shapelets at the cost of higher execution time. |
| ShapeletCount | Optional | Specifies the maximum number of shapelets in the output model table. The num_shapelets must be an INTEGER in the range [1, 100000]. The default value is 20. |
| TimeInterval | Optional | Specifies the number of data points in a time series to skip between consecutive time series windows when calculating the distance of a shapelet from a time series. The function builds a shapelet classification tree based on the distance of a shapelet from the time series data. Because a shapelet is typically much smaller than a complete time series, the function calculates the distance of a shapelet from a time series by sliding the shapelet across time series windows of shapelet length, calculating the distance between the shapelet and each window, and then selecting the smallest distance. The num_data_points is the number of data points to skip when sliding from one time series window to the next. The num_data_points must be an INTEGER in the range [1, 1000000]. The value 1 gives optimal results at the cost of higher execution time. The default value is 10. |
| Seed | Optional | Specifies the seed value for the function to use to generate random numbers, which it uses internally. The seed must be an INTEGER in the range [1, 100000]. The default value is 23. |
