• Authors: Chang Wei Tan, Christoph Bergmeir, Francois Petitjean, Geoffrey I. Webb
• Abstract summary: Time Series Extrinsic Regression (TSER) is a regression task of which the aim is to learn the relationship between a time series and a continuous scalar variable. We benchmark existing solutions and adaptations of TSC algorithms on a novel archive of 19 TSER datasets. Our results show that the state-of-the-art TSC algorithm Rocket, when adapted for regression, achieves the highest overall accuracy.

• Abstract: This paper studies Time Series Extrinsic Regression (TSER): a regression task of which the aim is to learn the relationship between a time series and a continuous scalar variable; a task closely related to time series classification (TSC), which aims to learn the relationship between a time series and a categorical class label. This task generalizes time series forecasting (TSF), relaxing the requirement that the value predicted be a future value of the input series or primarily depend on more recent values. In this paper, we motivate and study this task, and benchmark existing solutions and adaptations of TSC algorithms on a novel archive of 19 TSER datasets which we have assembled. Our results show that the state-of-the-art TSC algorithm Rocket, when adapted for regression, achieves the highest overall accuracy compared to adaptations of other TSC algorithms and state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) algorithms such as XGBoost, Random Forest and Support Vector Regression. More importantly, we show that much research is needed in this field to improve the accuracy of ML models. We also find evidence that further research has excellent prospects of improving upon these straightforward baselines.

  We look at whether the complexity of the algorithms considered state of the art is really necessary. Many times the first approach suggested is a simple pipeline of summary statistics or other time series feature extraction approaches. We test these approaches on the UCR time series dataset archive, looking to see if TSC literature has overlooked the effectiveness of these approaches.

• Interpretable Feature Construction for Time Series Extrinsic Regression [0.028675177318965035]
  In some application domains, it occurs that the target variable is numerical and the problem is known as time series extrinsic regression (TSER) We suggest an extension of a Bayesian method for robust and interpretable feature construction and selection in the context of TSER. Our approach exploits a relational way to tackle with TSER: (i), we build various and simple representations of the time series which are stored in a relational data scheme, then, (ii), a propositionalisation technique is applied to build interpretable features from secondary tables to "flatten" the data.
