Patent ID: 7711734

Claim:
A computer implemented method for generating a data mining analysis of transactional data, comprising: receiving, on one or more processors, time-variant time-series data relating to transactions of an organization; accumulating the time-variant time-series data into a plurality of time-series vectors; using the plurality of time-series vectors to concurrently perform a plurality of dimension reduction operations upon the time-variant time-series data and a similarity analysis upon the time-variant time-series data, wherein performing the plurality of dimension reduction operations generates reduced time-variant time-series data, and wherein performing the similarity analysis generates a similarity matrix; combining the similarity matrix and the reduced time-variant time-series data into a data matrix; performing a distance analysis using the data matrix to generate a distance matrix; performing a data mining operation using the distance matrix to generate the data mining analysis of the transactional data; and storing the data mining analysis in a computer-readable medium.
