Preface

The title of the book you are reading is Time Series Indexing, which should hint at its contents.

The time series index discussed and explored in this book is called iSAX. iSAX is considered one of the best indexes for time series, which is the main reason for choosing it. Besides implementing iSAX and the SAX representation as Python 3 packages, this book shows how to work with time series at the subsequence level and understand the information presented in academic research papers.

But the book does not stop here as it presents Python scripts for getting to know your time series data better and code for visualizing time series data and iSAX indexes to better understand the data as well as the structure of a particular iSAX index.
